It is almost impossible to find a source online that shows his date of birth. In fact, his Wikipedia profile and an other online profile doesn't mention his age or date of birth. I am sure it can be figured out through a lot of digging.

We do know he graduated with B.S. degrees in both mathematics and computer science from the University of Kentucky in 1995. The average graduation age for a B.S. is likely 23 or so, and that was about 19 years ago. So if you add on another 23 years to that, it makes him around 42 years old.

Someone on Twitter asked Matt outright, how old he is:

Matt responded in classic Matt:

True true. I feel like I am 55 but I am 34.
