About Me

Well, there's not much to know about me...honestly, I'm kind of boring....Well, I guess I can list some important facts about my life...My name is Matt, Matty, or The Mattster... although there are a select few who choose to go with the full name..but mostly, "Oi, American bloke!"I hail from Brunswick, GA, but I live in Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands, just north of Birmingham in the UK. A fish out of water I guess, but I love it. I work in ministry, particularly youth ministry to really help people understand who God is, and what it really means to know him... I used to work in law enforcement. It's was interesting job, NOT my favorite, but a good experience...now my focus is ministry and school...Speaking of dreams, if you have any YOU HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO LIVE YOUR DREAMS IN LIFE! I don't care if everyone thinks you're crazy, or if some don't agree, or if your dreams are a little high, you have them for a reason, and that reason is to see them come true in life. DON'T shortchange yourself...If you want to know anything else about my life, just ask...I'll let you know...that is, unless you're a creepy freak stalker...then no you can't. So, in a nutshell, that's me...Get to know me and you might find out I'm a little more interesting than I let on to...

Heroes:

My heroes....hmm...My dad, for the amazing person he is, as well as my mom who's awesome too. Brother Yun, a chinese man who went through hell for what he believed in. And David from the Bible...he was so messed up, but he still loved God with all of his heart and he was the only man God said that was after His own heart...
