About Me

Hi my name is Matt. Now it seems I must produce some sort of fun filled adventure in my about me section to please the masses. Time to put my "magical fingers" to work. Hmmmm, I love my kids, even when they are a pain in my ass. I love my family and think they are the best people in the world. Work has changed for me I am beginning a new chapter. I am becoming and engineer and going back to school. At least this way I can challenge McKenzi to have better grades than her father. If she beats me she gets to bug/harass/tease me to no end. Bike riding is one of my fun pastimes, even when people are not home when I go to visit them. In the last few years I have started woodturning and am slowly getting better at it. Love football in all forms as you can see by the pics on my page. Love watching and coaching my kids games.
There are times I am uptight, but I try my best to be laid back and enjoy what life has to offer. Often I refer to myself as a chameleon; I can enjoy myself in almost any situation, depending on who I am with. Often I pick up mannerism from the people I am around frequently.
My tastes are quite varied. Music runs from oldies, to jazz to blues to classical to hip hop to alternative to metal to almost anything. Love movies, even some of those sappy chick flicks. I really enjoy cooking and food in general. My brother in law owns a cooking school and I enjoy helping out over there. I try to do my part in being a better human on the planet. I try to recycle, I give blood, recently donated platelets, take my kids to the soup kitchen to work on Saturday mornings. See I get to cook some more over there, plus they get a different perspective into what life has to offer outside of iPods and cell phones.
Bottom line I love my family and I love my kids. Everyday I try my best to be better at being me for them and for myself.
