Meet the
PRH Team! Matt Kelchner Writer
When did you start working for RowHome? 2.5ish years now, I think. It feels like it’s been much longer than that though.
How did you discover RowHome? Through the always incredible Brenda [Hillegas]! Name a story you’ ve written for RowHome that makes you proud. Oh, this is a tough one but I’m going to go with the Real People, Real Stories interview with Alex Dunek. Hearing her story, and her telling it, was very inspiring. Did you grow up in Philly? What neighborhood? I’ve lived in Philly for around 13 years now. I’ve lived all over the city and currently live in South Philly. Who was your best friend growing up? Oh man, this is another tough one! I didn’t have a best friend growing up but a bunch of them. If it wasn’t for each and every one of them, I definitely wouldn’t be the person I am today. What’s your favorite quote? “Sometimes I’ll start a sentence and I don’t even know where it’s going. I just hope I find it along the way.� - Michael Scott What’s your favorite row home memory? Buying my very own row home with my (now) wife. What got you into writing? Being able to express and share my opinions about things that I am passionate about. What other sites/magazines/ papers do you/did you write for? In the past I’ve written for That Music Mag, The Vinyl District and Radius Magazine. Favorite memory with RowHome Magazine? Having my mom pick up a copy, read through the entire thing and not notice I was the writer of two articles until I pointed it out to her. (Sorry mom!) Are you on Instagram? @matt_kelchner
