I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

hey. my name is matt. i love Jesus. I love music. I'm in a band. I play drums. I work at Guitar Center. I sell drums. I like drums a lot........okay...seriously, those things are all true. I'm not surfacy like that at all though. I do love my God, even though i suck as a follower most times. His grace is enough for me and covers me much more than my screw-ups, and that's amazing. I hope to someday play music professionally and travel everywhere i can sharing with everyone i meet the two things i love the most: God and music.

Other than that....i'm single, a college drop-out, a writer, i enjoy a good movie, a good book, a good conversation at an amazing Starbucks with a good person talking about life and everything to do with it. I really enjoy my job and i'm extremely grateful for the opportunity to work there.

My Interests

friends, family, music, my band, my job, movies, comedy, laughing, talking, thinking, listening, learning, concerts, baseball, basketball, Macbooks, King's Domain, reading, writing, but not math. Prayer, Scripture, Community, Devotion and Trial are all things that bring me closer to the love of my life. God is not my interest, but my entire existence. Please message me or add me or nicely vandalize my wall, because i like all of those things, too. =)

I'd like to meet:

i can't wait to be in the physical presence of Jesus. While i'm waiting for that to come true....i'd like to meet Dave Grohl, Aaron Gillespie, Bono, my future wife (the sooner the better), and anyone else who breathes.
