He's more of an IT guy.

Matthew Murray got his humble start leading a technology-sensitive life in elementary school, where he struggled to satisfy his ravenous hunger for computers, computer games, and writing book reports in Integer BASIC. He earned his B.A. in Dramatic Writing at Western Washington University, where he also minored in Web design and German. He has been building computers for himself and others for over 15 years, and spent several years working in IT and helpdesk capacities before escaping into the far more exciting world of journalism. Currently PCMag.com's lead analyst for components and DIY, Matthew has fulfilled a number of other positions at the company, including an editor on the Consumer Electronics and Software teams, and for a year the Managing Editor of ExtremeTech.com.

Before coming to PCMag, Matthew served as senior editor at Computer Shopper, where he covered desktops, software, components, and system building; as senior editor at Stage Directions, a monthly technical theater trade publication; and as associate editor at TheaterMania.com, where he contributed to and helped edit The TheaterMania Guide to Musical Theater Cast Recordings (Back Stage Books, 2004). Matthew is also the chief New York theater critic for TalkinBroadway.com, one of the best known and most popular Web sites covering the New York theater scene; and an editor, columnist, and critic for BroadwayStars.com, New York's foremost theater news aggregator. He also appears regularly as an expert and pundit on the Broadway Radio "This Week on Broadway" podcast, and is a member of the Theatre World Awards board for honoring outstanding stage debuts.
