Mike Matson

Mike Matson is a lifelong Kansan whose career has touched various aspects of communications: Deejay, radio news, TV news, press secretary to a governor, systems advocacy and newspaper columnist.

His professional success paralleled an addiction-related downward trajectory featuring all the drama one might expect. This dichotomy is the premise of Courtesy Boy: A True Story of Addiction.

He wrote the book to help those still suffering - and their loved ones - connect the dots between destructive personality traits/behaviors and the potential for addiction.

Matson lives where he was born, in Manhattan, Kansas, with his wife and their two Australian Shepherds.
