Matt Lindner

Writer and Editor in Chicago, Illinois

Chicago-based writer and editor. My work has appeared in the Chicago Tribune's RedEye, the Chicago Sun-Times, Internet Retailer, ESPN.com and MLB.com. I've covered everything from trends in e-commerce to Major League Baseball and other major sporting events.

For me, life has always been more about the journey than the ultimate destination. Along the way, I've done the following:

Worked as a professional mascot, a TV news reporter, a publicist and inside sales rep

Stood on the actual roof of the Sears Tower

Lost a poutine eating contest

Backpacked from Tampa to Philadelphia after quitting a job 72 hours earlier

Lived in five states and worked in six

Had one-on-one interviews with everyone from Joe Biden to Dennis Rodman

These days, I'm happy to be back in Chicago for good. I'm always looking for a great story to tell, so feel free to reach out to me if you've got one.
