I'm Colinford King Mattis.

I've had the good fortune to live a few different professional lives — teacher, lawyer, salesperson, entrepreneur, builder, and probably a few things I'm forgetting.

These days, I spend most of my time building ventures, exploring ideas, and trying to make useful things around problems I think deserve attention.

A lot of my work comes back to the same basic question:

How can this work better?

Better for the people using it.
Better for the people usually left out of it.
Better in the real world, not just on paper.

King Movement Labs is where much of the building happens.

This site is the more personal side of things: what I'm thinking about, what I'm learning, what I care about, and whatever seems worth passing along.

Life has been incredibly generous to me.

I'm still learning. Still building. Still figuring things out.

I'm glad you're here.
