About Me


Irish by design, American by the Grace of God!!!

Hello people. I'm Matthew, I'm 24. I have brown eyes and brown hair (or as the people who knowme say, I'm so full of it, the shit had to go somewhere...). My hair actually has many natural traces of reddish-brown near the roots but the further it grows out the more darker the brown gets. It's probably the only trace of the Mother Ireland I have left to show after generations of cross breeding... Gah I love America lol. I graduated from Holly Pond High School in twenty-o-3. Did time at Wallace State Correctional Facility where they told me everything I learned at high school was wrong! Then I moved on to HELL AKA Huntsvegas, AL where I went to the University of Alabama in Huntsville to become a mechanical engineer, yeah yeah... a redneck rocket scientist. On the weekends and at night, you probably best know me as the bassist and co-vocalist of Wicked Lemur . Rock and roll music is in my mind the second best thing to singing with the angel choir in Heaven. haha! Nothing else musically in this life can be better. sorry.
I love to play the piano and the guitar. I own an 88-key Yamaha keyboard, I'm all about tearing up some van halen or journey keyboard, a Fender Stratocaster guitar (my one and only baby and first thing I ever spent a fortune on) and an Ibanez bass which I obviously play in the band. I am an Auburn fan though when it comes to football, and a Braves fan when it comes to baseball. I like Nascar and the drag strips and motorcycles, and anywhere where I can get excited by loud engines and the sweet smell of the perfectly burned fuel mixture. I'm very independent. I've never been a needy person.
Um let's see what else? I love to fish and I love the lake. I won't bore you with that today. I love running and working out. I'm really confident with who I am. I'm not arrogant, though for some reason people find me hard to approach, so please don't let me intimidate you because deep down I'm just a regular down-to-earth kinda guy.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

the people you meet in heaven and everyone I guess living that wants to be met. haha. I love meeting people who come watch us too.

Trust me... I'm a rocket scientist...

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
