Noontime Media

Meet The Creator
The Person Behind the Stories: Matt Noonan
The story of Noontime Media began in March 2023 with a simple mission: to elevate communities, high school sporting events, and teams through a creator’s lens—and to tell stories that showcase athletes, schools, leagues, and communities with genuine, positive intention.
I launched Noontime Media after years of working across higher education, startups, and digital and print media. Since graduating from Wheaton College (MA) in May 2010, I’ve built a career around sports, storytelling, and finding creative ways to connect people with the moments and communities that matter.
My path has included stops in college athletic communications, including MIT and Wheaton, along with freelance work that led to bylines in the Boston Globe, Patch, ESPNBoston.com, and numerous Gannett newspapers. I’ve also spent time behind the microphone, broadcasting college athletics and NFHS Network high school state championships while serving as a public address announcer at Boston College, Framingham State, Harvard University, Tufts University, and UMass Boston.
Before launching Noontime Media, I managed Noontime Sports, a hyper-local New England sports blog and podcast focused on NCAA Division III athletics. That experience reinforced something I’ve believed throughout my career: sports are about much more than the final score. They’re about the people, personalities, rivalries, communities, and moments that bring us together.
That passion for storytelling—and for connecting fans, coaches, student-athletes, schools, and communities—remains at the heart of Noontime Media. It’s the driving force behind everything I create, whether it’s a photo, video, graphic, or story shared across Instagram, Threads, YouTube, or SmugMug.
