Matt Saunders is a Student Ministries Director at Indian Creek Community Church in Olathe, Kansas. He is the designer and artist of Mow 'Em Down: Walker Mowers Edition which he began designing in 2004. Matt's inspiration for designing games came from his wife's cousin, Marc, who as a history teacher, used game designing to help teach units in the classroom. After playing one of Marc's games, Matt decided to try designing a game with a landscaping theme, which is in his roots, growing up in a family that manufactures a riding lawn mower. http://www.walkermowers.com
In the summer of 2008, Matt released a small print run of Mow 'Em Down: Walker Mowers Edition at an event in Fort Collins, Colorado to commemorate the production of the 100,000 Walker Mower. Some copies of the game are still available for purchase. See links above.
In his infrequent spare time between work and spending time with his young family, Matt enjoys playing games with friends and family and listening to board game related Podcasts. Starting in 2010, Matt has made frequent contributions to the monthly Game Design Showdown at the Board Game Designers Forum under the alias 'oicu12b12'.
