About the Author:

Matthew E. Miller is a Surface Warfare Officer in the U.S. Navy, originally from Frankfort, Kentucky, now residing in San Diego, California. His life revolves around his family, including his wife Jaclyn, an audiologist for active duty members, their two boys, Mason and Hayden, and their dog, Olivia.

Inspired by his son Mason, Matt wrote his first book, "Benny Backwards," in 2024. This success led to more writing, including "My Mommy, My SWO," explaining his role to his children. Encouraged by Jaclyn, Matt expanded into the "My Mommy, My Mommy" series, covering all military branches.

While working on these books, Matt and Jaclyn created the MY HERO project, inspired by Matt's 2020 deployment on the USS THEODORE ROOSEVELT when Mason was only one-month-old. Their company, UMBO, aims to foster connections and help military families bridge geographical gaps despite their demanding lifestyles.

The MY HERO Fund dedicates 5% of profits from My HERO Collection to purchasing prescription glasses for children of active-duty service members.
