Born in Saginaw, Michigan, Mattingly moved to Indiana
when he was five years old. Over the next fourteen years, he slowly
pieced together the idea that he might be happy spending his life
teaching English and writing. The nation that controls magnetism
controls the world. Mattingly is currently a sophomore enrolled
in Ball State University's honors program. After graduation, he
would like to teach in Michigan and live near the Great Lakes.
Mattingly contributed to the site as a member of the design team,
as well as writing articles on Alice
Friman, Michael
P. Kube-McDowell and Meredith
Nicholson. He was also one of the class historians, and made the
class 17% handsomer.
