You can't get on my level

About Me

I'm Matthew J. Sesslar, and I'm awesome. I'm currently in my third year at ISU studying finance. After graduation, I'll pursue my MBA and eventually my doctorate degree.

I'm also currently learning German and Japanese (although very slowly). If you think you can help with that, let me know!

IF I HAVE ADDED YOU: I most likely added you because I like your taste in music, I like what you have going for yourself, you'd be a potential business partner or prospect, or you live somewhere close by me. If you don't recognize me, then no, you don't know me. Just pop me a simple "Hey, I'm (your name here), what's goin on?" or something similar, and we'll be well on our way to knowing each other. It's simple, people. No, I'm not a hacker or some spam account. Talk to me, chances are, I'll talk back.

My Interests

Anything that has to do with business is a great topic for me; Executive practice and financial management are my stronger points. Some other related subjects that interest me are public speaking, advertising/promotion/media relations, and professional image consultation.

When it comes to leisurely things... I like shopping (I could go bankrupt buying clothes), having a few drinks, reading a good book, working out, and listening to music.

I'd like to meet:

I love to network, so meeting people is one of my favorite things to do. You'll never know when someone's services will come in handy (or when yours will come in handy for someone else). I'm really personable, so don't hesitate sending me a comment or message!

Music:

Any artist with talent will hold my attention. My favorite genres would be classical (especially piano and classical guitar), metal, acoustic, and hip hop.

Movies:

Some of my favorite movies are Gladiator, the Godfather (all), Blow, Boondock Saints, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, A Beautiful Mind, Interview with a Vampire, and a lot more.

Television:

The Office. Anything on CNBC or The Weather Channel.

Books:

Iacocca; Rich Dad, Poor Dad; Jim Cramer's Stay Mad for Life; The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People; The Shock Doctrine

I also enjoy fantasy novels and most theoretical/research journals and essays.

Heroes:

Anyone that has earned my respect. Look for the full list in late 2008. ..
