Mr. Kolk is a sociopath, repeatedly hiring free lance writers, agreeing to a price, and then not paying for services rendered. The pieces are then published in his magazine "East Coast Home and Design". He has committed this fraud on a number of writers, not just myself. After he burns through someone, he just finds a new victim and it starts all over again. He should be shut down!
Yeah, I used Carroll as well. Bad writer. I didn't pay her either. Submits crap and badgers to be paid for it.
I agree with M Carroll. Matt Kolk is a sociopath. He has used people to get to where he is. He doesn't care whether he runs over friends or family. He has even had his own cousin arrested and charged. BTW, his cousin is a very successful and law abiding photographer in NYC. It's obvious to me that "Ms. traveleditor" is in fact Matt Kolk. He also has a history of domestic violence. He loves to beat up on anyone that he can bully around. He is and has always been a very shady business man.
Thank you for your fictitious comments. This information will be added as part of our ongoing Federal Lawsuit regarding slander, identity theft, fraud, etc.. Once we obtain your IP address, our attorney will most certainly be in contact.
The only thing "fictitious" here is the person called "ms. traveleditor, " who is clearly none other than Kolk himself. M. Carroll is absolutely correct in what she writes, and is just one of an endless cadre of writers, designers, art directors, columnists, and photographers who have not gotten paid by Matt Kolk and his shifty organization. He hires people, has them do the work, publishes their work, and then does not pay them. Repeated requests for payment are simply ignored. Matt Kolk makes Bernie Madoff look like Saint Vincent de Paul. His magazine is a joke in the industry and the only people he has left to do the work are talentless cohorts of his who either don't mind not getting paid, or are thrilled to see their name in print (and probably misspelled.) The low quality of this work is readily apparent with even the most cursory glance of his ludicrous publication.
This website blows my mind. Literally. I know who each of the listings are from. Use your name. own it. This is the problem with the internet, people hide behind fictitious "g-mail" log-ins. If what you have to say is truthful, and you have a stance, use your god-given name. Hiding behind "Fairfield County Professional" and "Fairfield Citizen" is a person without a cause, ### to be heard and not wanting to be accountable.
Fairfield Citizen, you are being investigated by the Fairfield Police as we speak. You can't post false domestic violence information without them investigating it. We are going to find out who you are in fact, even though we already know who you are. Then, the ### WILL hit the fan.
"Fairfield County Professional" Well that's Richard Zeohrer. We let him go after his boyfriend got deported and was arrested, placed in prison in Massachusetts and sent back to Brazil. Richard decided to deal with this by curling up in his basement with the cats. We had to talk him off the ledge to get our book out and babysit him the entire time. Once we got over that, we got billings from his "staff" for an issue for services rendered. However, his "staff" was in brazil, not in town at all, didn't do anything on the issue and just sent in an invoice for the work that I did. Guess what, I refused to pay it.
Now that Sergio snuck back into the country, after being arrested, sent to prison in Massachusetts and deported and is now living with RIchard back in Brookfield (where "Fairfield County Professional" is listed) and after all of the crap we had to deal with with him and his paroles, He has the stones to go after us for non-payment, Guess what, we pay people who earn it. We pay for good work, always have, always will. We don't and will not be involved in immigration issues.
As far as ms. travel editor is concerned, I don't know her, I'm a grown man and I don't have a need to hide. There must by more issues with the original poster and you all that is happening here. Just saying.

For anyone who is interested in the truth you may contact me. It is ashame that chris bank defenders ### people have to use this forum it only shows that they are all cowards. We have run a successful business for 10 years now and my clients repeat their business year after year. I have better things to do then to engage with a down and out person that likes to air other peoples business and personal information. I am sure these people or this one person has their own things to worry about. We are in a lawsuit that involves many criminal complaints, I believe a total of 9. This same person has been arrested at our private home and still has not learned one thing from his mistakes
