Hello, welcome to my new site and design. I am now using the blog tool and publishing platform, WordPress. This tool should allow me to easily update and maintain the site through future updates and revisions. And allow me to communicate about web development, projects, and business from this platform.
The year is 2010. Change is upon us. Much needed change, so this site is changing, too. Where comments are open, please provide feedback. I will try improve this site and space and make frequent, although don’t be surprised if they are less frequent updates. This page is meant to be somewhat of a blog, but I have other sites that I maintain for my own businesses, so this space may get neglected. Also, I only plan to include business appropriate material here. Please find me below on social media networks to learn more about me, connect with me or contact me.
I live life, love, & work deep in the heart of Texas, in the hill country capital of Austin; along with my wife, Jenny, my son Garrett, and my daughter Grace. We enjoy spending as much time together as possible. Mostly outdoor activities, so if you don’t see me around on the internet, then this is why, wish me luck. Learn more about us on our Shutterfly blog, The Comer Family.
Matthew Comer D.B.A. is my own freelancing, consulting, contracting work for web development, web design, and website maintenance. You are here!

Redleaf Brewing is start up brewing company that I and two other beer lovers and fellow brewers started in 2007. We brew small batches of handcrafted home brew style beer. We strive to create the highest quality beer with a flare for the unusual and unique, yet keeping with the spirit of a small brewery, catering to the tastes of beer lovers abroad. We are currently on a hiatus, but keep an an empty glass out for us, if you want to try some of this fresh and tasty beer.
The 2010 SXSW Music Festival starts in less than two weeks. I volunteer as a photographer for the event. Photos from this year’s events to be posted soon. Here is my SXSW schedule for this year.
In April, there is the Old Settler’s Music Festival where I have volunteered for the past three years. Also, it is the time of the Delta Tau Delta – Zeta Delta Alumni Reunion in San Marcos.
In June, there is the Hays County Ducks Unlimited Banquet & Auction in which I have been a Committee Member for the past two years and attending the Banquet since the beginning of this chapter. As well as attending DU Banquets in San Marcos while at SWT.
There are many different organizations and associations that I am involved with and where I can display my leadership and skills. Also, there is a charity organization that I have been involved with going on 10 years this December, look for more to come here.
My wife and I donate blood regularly at The Blood Center of Central Texas to keep the community vampires happy.
And sometime stock trader, formerly of the good ‘ole days of day trading. Now using ‘tips’ on thelion.com.
I formerly participated in an Adopt-A-School program and looking to becoming a Big Brother.
Also, I am very political, although I no longer vote. Tomorrow is the last day to vote in the Texas primary. Debora Medina is a good choice for Republican Governor, although anybody would be better than current Governor Rick Perry. What we need is real change.
So here we are back to change. Change comes full circle. Just be good to the ones you love and good to the ones you don’t. And we will all be good.
