Hi, I'm Matt and I created and operate Five Year Journal. I have a blog, but I wanted a place and an impetus to journal for just myself. My wife introduced me to the concept of a five year journal, and I thought that would be pretty great as a website.

I live in the midwest with my family and two dogs. I'm in network security professionally and run Five Year Journal as a side project. Follow me on FYJ and you'll catch the rare periodic post of mine I mark as public.
