Meet Chuck Mata.

Author. Survivor. Tru-Teller

Chuck Mata’s life didn’t begin with a warm embrace — it began with survival. Born in the chaos of a traumatic birth and raised by parents whose love came laced with violence and neglect, Chuck’s journey is a testament to human endurance and the strength of the human spirit.

But Beyond Belief is more than just a memoir. It’s the voice of a man who chose to confront the darkness rather than be consumed by it. With piercing honesty and a touch of dark humor, Chuck recounts his past not for sympathy, but to connect — to every person who has felt broken, lost, or unloved.

Chuck brings decades of lived experience, emotional depth, and spiritual introspection to his writing. He speaks to survivors of dysfunctional families, those on a path of self-discovery, and anyone yearning to find meaning beyond the pain.

The Memoir

A childhood no one should endure. A story everyone should hear..

“Beyond Belief” isn’t just the chronicle of Chuck Mata’s extraordinary life journey, but a seismic shift in the world of cancer research. In 2004, faced with a terminal diagnosis of melanoma, Chuck stepped into the unknown as Patient Zero in a groundbreaking National Institute of Health clinical vaccine protocol. What followed wasn’t just survival; it was a scientific revolution.

Chuck Mata’s Admirers

I’ve faced life's most unimaginable challenges, from lightning strikes to jail time. Blindness, homelessness, and seemingly endless setbacks led me through a labyrinth of despair. My memoir is a testament to the unyielding power of passionate positivity and the limitless possibilities of the human spirit. Join me as I navigate from the darkest valleys to the highest peaks, shedding insecurities and discovering the boundless light within.

Beyond Belief is a testament to the human spirit. Despite an extremely challenging youth, Chuck stands strong, telling a story of a man who continues to pursue life to the fullest. Abuse & bullying from loved ones & peers, a medical miracle, career opportunities, love & loss, travel, hobnobbing, art & glamour – a story of pivoting, persevering & hard-won resilience. A life authentically lived, a story worth reading!

Good morning. Your amazing memoir should be on the best seller list soon……if it’s not already. I’m a slow reader, but I couldn’t put it down and spent the whole day reading & finishing the book. You have a beautiful command of our language, and I ended up underlining so many of your quotable lines. The end of the book is especially heartwarming and full of Grace. YOU are an amazing survivor, Chuck, and an inspiration. I’m so proud of you.

What a sometimes cruel, heartening, and optimistic life you’ve had, and I’m
only on page 107. I have to read it as fiction because I can’t believe that
such a kind, endearing man could have endured what I’ve read so far. I want
to hug you now, as I remember your hugs helped me when we first met.

Rochelle K

It is impossible to imagine how someone can go through all you have been through and come out the other end whole. This memoir was a fantastic, surrealistic read. Thank you for the privilege of sharing your rich and beautiful life.

Mindy N

I’ve known you for over 20 years and found your memoir very interesting. It’s almost like you’re a superhero. This has been a great book, and I will reread the inspirational parts of it when my life overwhelms me. However, during certain parts of your book, I felt very sad and sorry for you.

Stephen H

It is a rare book that can change a person’s life. Realizing what a person can
endure and come out as a loving, decent human being gave me an
appreciation of my life and the strength to overcome life’s slings and
arrows. Loved it!
