What's Your Story: Matt

Please share some of your background:
I am an electrician. I’ve been doing electrical work for 18 years or so and I also enjoy building things for my wife. She likes rustic backyard farm looking things so it’s fun to just slap stuff together and have her absolutely love it! I also make my own knives by forge. If you have ever wanted to try it, I say it’s such a rewarding craft!

When did you start reading Mitch Rapp? 
When I saw the first trailer for the movie and it said it was based on a book. So I bought the book and was hooked!

Which book is your favorite?
Either Transfer Of Power or Consent To Kill. I love the movie Olympus Has Fallen. I watched that movie right as I finished Kill Shot and then I found out what Transfer Of Power was about. It was my favorite book until Consent To Kill. That book really showed the animalistic side of Rapp. When he shoves the white phosphorous grenade into the antagonists mouth after blowing his son up in front of him, it gave me goosebumps. I’ll never forget that feeling. I was like excited when I read that part!!!

Do you have a favorite character?
Obviously Rapp, but Claudia Gould seems like she is the only person in the world that could control Rapp. Not even Kennedy has the power that she has. I also like Azarov and I wish he came into more of these stories.

If you could be any character, who would it be?
Scott Coleman or Charlie Wker.

Is there anything else you would like to share, relating to Mitch Rapp, Vince, Kyle or Don?
I just want movies based strongly on the books. I think Sylvester Stallone would produce some amazing Mitch Rapp movies or shows! His love for the military and drama along with his amazing directing skills would be awesome for this project! He could probably even play Hurley! lol. Love the books and keep them coming forever!!!
