MatPat Bio

MatPat’s game-changing YouTube channels have been the talk of the town for years; and the back-story to his rise to success is just as inspiring as his transition into one of the biggest YouTubers. Growing up, Matthew was the kind of kid that always valued education to a point where he’d take classes during the summer break, and who also just couldn’t get enough of games and movies. A few years later, Matthew whipped out the idea of sharing with the world never-before-witnessed YouTube contents like talking about the relationship between gaming and reality in terms of math and science. Thus, he brought into existence his first channel ‘The Game Theorists’, where he releases episodes based on games like ‘Nintendo’ and ‘Call of Duty’ and educates the viewers about its tangential experiences. A channel that mostly shares video content that are spin-offs or even sometimes separate shows, ‘The Game Theorists’ soon caught the eye of major gaming channels and fanatics. Now with a whopping 17.2 million and counting subscribers, Matthew Patrick’s channel that lets several content creators formulate theories and educate their viewers about games, is on its way to make it even bigger! Following the success of this channel, he announced the introduction of a second channel, ‘The Film Theorists’, that basically runs along the same lines as ‘The Game Theorists’ but centered around theories about films. In his third channel ‘GT Live’, Matthew and his wife are seen hosting live streams that revolve around gaming and related challenges and discussions. His new channels have received over 11.9 million and 3.1 million subscribers respectively.

Just after this future YouTube star graduated from university, he found himself in crossroads where his dreams of pursuing an acting job just weren’t working out. After a couple of rejections from theatre companies and being unemployed for over two years, he decided to take these closed doors into his stride and decided to switch career goals. It was his sheer willingness to never be overcome by failures that made him the star that he is today. Today this young man stands as a testament that anything can happen if you just keep pushing forward! With his mounting fame, Matthew has even gone ahead to feature in other mega YouTube channels, and has spread his infectious positive vibes to his ever growing audience.

Matthew Robert Patrick was born on November 15, 1986, in Medina County, Ohio, USA. He met his future wife Stephanie Cordato while just a student at the prestigious Duke University and the two hit it off during the creation of the spin-off called ‘The Epic of Stew.’ The pair later tied the knot in in North Carolina in 2012. In July 2018, the couple welcomed their first child named Oliver.
