| SHORT DESCRIPTION =
Matthew Stewart was born into a military family the second of three children. He has an elder brother Robert and a younger sister Elizabeth. His father was Colonel James Stewart who served in the US Marines. His mother Mia Stewart was a feisty beauty from a prominent Catalan family.

He followed his brother Robert to Princeton in 1980 before being awarded the Fulbright Scholarship
to Worcester College Oxford University in 1985. He was awarded a Dphil by Oxford in 1987 for what was regarded by his contempories as a brilliant thesis on the philosopical writings Nietche.

During his time at Oxford he met David Lonsdale then a law undergraduate. Stewart was inspired by Lonsdale and has acknowledged his influence on his writings.

After Oxford Stewart spent 10 years pursuing a career in management consultancy. He detested the work. His years in this field were reflected in his recent book the Management Myth. Nevertheless during these years he secured a substantial fortune.

In 1998 he married his wife Cathy who is also a writer. The couple have two children. They moved to Santa Barbara in 2001 and then to New York in 2009.
