Chris Mathews was born and raised in San Antonio, Texas. He got his first taste of journalism while writing for his high school newspaper, prompting him to pursue a degree in the field. Chris left Texas and headed north to study at the Missouri School of Journalism. He is currently studing convergence journalism with an emphasis in entrepreneurialism and a business minor. Aside from MDN, Chris reports for Missouri Business Alert, a startup focusing on business issues within the state. This is his second semester working at MDN.
