Matt was born in Denver to Mark & Eleanor Thompson. He was their only child, and raised on the family farm, just outside Denver.
His father’s skills helped them through the Depression, and once the New Deal was enacted Matthew took a job as a carpenter in Denver, Colorado. Where he met Rebecca, a local school teacher. The two were engaged, just before he was shipped out to England during the war. Just before he was sent to the South of England to work on Operation Quicksilver she had sent him a letter, stating she had met someone and was getting married.
Matt focused on the job, ended up meeting MacGyver who was helping with the building of the fake planes, tanks and airfields. When Matt tried to break up a drunken fight, he had been shot by accident. MacGyver offered him a chance to live.
