Eddie Matthews

Eddie Matthews was born in Des Moines Iowa, where he grew up hunting, fishing and playing baseball, where "Field of Dreams"was made.

He Went to Arizona State university to college, hoping eventually to be a professional baseball player, but found out quickly he was lacking in only a couple areas, size, speed & talent or he would have been great haha.

Eddie was an extra on a movie filming in Phoenix, "Used cars" in 1980, where he met some of the top veteran stunt people in the business whom said; "if you want to be in the stunt biz you must move to LA." It was then he realized, a career as a stuntman was an opportunity to be a professional athlete while getting to play a wide variety of sports.

So after moving to La La Land, He quickly realized, like the thousands before him, it can takes many yrs to get one job, let alone make a living. Having a diving & trampoline background he started working with a professional high diving company doing high dive shows at Six Flags theme park in Los Angeles.

Also Having a Masters degree in family counseling, and Eddie's favorite movie being "Rain Man"and "One flew over the cuckoo's nest" he started working as a counselor in various Psychiatric hospitals in LA. He also worked and lived for 5 yrs in a residential home for Autistic adults,,these were now his roommates! And it was the Rain Man movie on steroids every day for five yrs. This prepared him for any craziness that Hollyweird might throw at him..
