Matt Gantry “I Died Twice- Author of The Gamer”
Matt Gantry’s journey is one of resilience, transformation, and the power of storytelling. Once a truck driver navigating the open roads, his life took an unexpected turn after a devastating accident that forced him to redefine his future. Rather than letting adversity define him, Matt embraced writing as a means of healing, ultimately becoming the author of The Gamer-a thrilling story that blends his passion for gaming with his own life experiences.
"Writing became my way of processing everything-the pain, the uncertainty, the new reality I had to face. I never expected it to become something more, but storytelling gave me a purpose I never saw coming.”
The Gamer by Matt Gantry is a gripping novel that tells the story of Harry Fearn, a video game enthusiast, with a love for the SAS ( Special Air Service) who finds himself in a real-life hostage situation. Drawing on his gaming skills, Harry navigates the dangerous scenario, using his strategic thinking and quick reflexes to outsmart the terrorists. The book, inspired by Gantry's own life experiences-including the accident that led him to pursue writing-seamlessly weaves action, suspense, and personal growth into a high-stakes narrative.
Matt’s journey from truck driver to author wasn’t just about personal reinvention-it was about finding a voice and sharing a story that resonates. His dedication to storytelling has now led him to expand The Gamer into a six-part series, as well as an audiobook adaptation that brings his world to life in a whole new way.
Matt lives by the belief that even the most unexpected challenges can lead to extraordinary transformations. His work is a testament to the idea that resilience, creativity, and passion can open doors we never imagined.

    On 23 November 2024 Snakestaff replied to my email about when they are going to sell tourniquets to the general public again: "Hey Jason, we are expecting a restock within the first two weeks of December. If you would like, we can add this email to a reminder list and send you an email first thing when they are in! Thank you and please let us know if you have any questions!" I asked to be placed on the email reminder list & I got nothing. It is 12 January 2025 & the general public still can't buy Snakestaff tourniquets . So now we want to know WHY. Are their tourniquets being sold to the MIC for Ukraine & Israel at the expense of the American public? We want to know.

He's done very well for himself and he didn't mention it in this interview, but Greg's gym he first started has/had some of the best fighters in our hometown area, and even on the entire East Coast, that continued on with martial arts, etc. Many of them were all our friends we grew up with in our small hometown of Hillsborough, North Carolina.

      @@damianporterhighperformanc2188 I will send you an email on your YT page. This is going to be an interesting class for me because am bringing my SCAR 20 (308) and don't have much experience with upright shooting with it (or in general for that matter - mostly prone and bench/rested etc). Now I am a big guy (6'6 275) and so raising it to the firing position is no problem for me (plus a sling helps too), but understanding the mechanical breakdown of proper stance, rifle alignment with body etc is going to be very interesting. Funny thing is, when I have shot normal 16" carbines, I feel all bunched up given my long arms and so the 20" platform feels more comfortable. Regardless, it should be great! Thanks

    Why then in his 34th year then is this country in such a disgusting state? Why is the average vulnerable in the community being degraded by overreaching govt? Why have the army and police not protected their own communities in NZ? What even is a national security risk when average peeole are put on this list and harassed and abused for no good reason? Why do the counter intel agencies work together to not find actual criminals and set up others that arent criminaks in order to persecute them for years in order to try and find something to pin on them? Why do we have people overseas reporting on the concerns the average NZ person has when the main stream media dont report? Why has this country had an influx in immigrants and are pushing NZs out of their homes and businesses, with the help if their gang thugs? Whats the point of people even asking questions when its just an information gathering tool to further track and surveille and harass people that pose as a potential threat to the fraudulent political agenda? Why are the men in this country so weak they just want to create a blog and drip feed the probkems with their opinion, rather than actually getting in and helping their community? No one wants to help actual survivors, theyre ignored. Feel free to answer these questions because others dont bother as it puts them at risk?
