Matthew Eberz was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, attended Penn State University, and upon graduation
in 1974, entered the United States Army. Initially trained at Ft. Bragg, North Carolina, he entered the service
as a Second Lieutenant serving in the Army's Transportation Corps at Fort Eustis, Virginia.
Matt rose to the rank of Regular Army Major in the United States Army and served numerous assignments
including Platoon Leader, Unit Commander, Battalion Operations Officer, Division Transportation Officer,
Chief World Wide Military Command & Control Systems Europe, and Deputy Director of the United States
Army Artificial Intelligence Center at Fort Monroe Virginia. He also served as a Training Officer with the
United States Reserves at Ft. Sheridan, Illinois, where he first came across the graves of nine German
POWs. Using the post library, he researched the POWs, how they came to be there and the work they did
during that war period. This information peaked his curiosity and was the beginning of his first novel, Tenth
Man.
Post army service, he continued in the computer industry developing major computer systems for private
industry. Matt is also the creator of the ADAM alert notification system, which supports the National Center
for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), sends immediate messages to police, hospitals, news media
and individuals in targeted areas to speed in the recovery of missing children.
In 2006, Matt and his wife Rebecca moved to Highlands, North Carolina where, as Matt said in a recent
interview, "This is a place where a person can live their life full-measure."
