Matt Kramer was born in Dallas, Texas, on June 27, 1980 (on the hottest day in Dallas to date, at 113 degrees). When he was 14, he won the USA Film Festival's Kidfilm Competition for a classic-style mystery short film. The competition was hosted by casting director Rody Kent, giving Matt the opportunity to run camera for casting sessions on the PBS television series "Wishbone".

He has had extensive experience in performing arts, award-winning videography, book publishing, and church ministry. A strong Christian, he founded You Connection in 2013 after years of trying to jumpstart a professional faith-based media and theatre company that could use theatrics and creativity to present, exhort, and defend the Gospel. You Connection produces a free globally recognized streaming site called YC Web as well as immersive theatre presentations in Dallas, Texas.
