I am longtime avid gamer and painter. I work in the gaming industry as part owner in a game shop in the Oklahoma City area, as well as having written for Pinnacle Entertainment Group. Miniature painting is my passion and a hobby as well. I have always enjoyed teaching painting to those who wish to learn. I have worked closely with SoonerCon for years, and look forward to continuing. I also have deep interest in history and sports. I proudly served my country as a member of the US Navy in my younger days.

Matthew Cavanaugh has been a gamer for as long as he can remember, including entering the world of Dungeons & Dragons at the tender age of eight—and never leaving. In 2015 Matt began painting miniature figures for his D&D games. Not satisfied with just tabletop quality, he honed his craft, learning techniques for competition and display figure painting.

In 2018 Matt received a silver medal in the ReaperCon Miniature Painting Contest and Best in Show in the SoonerCon 27 Miniature Painting Competition. He also took first place small figure at SoonerCon 26 and second place small figure at SoonerCon 25.
