Hey! Matt here. Here is some info on me:
I went to St Olaf for a while but didn't like it enough to stay for two more years. I am not missing school at all.
My family lives in Chaska, my hometown. My family is: My parents, my 2 younger sister, my younger brother, our dog Tobie, a cat, and our bird Alfalfa.
I drive an Acura Integra.
I enjoy: working out, sleeping in, watching movies, chillin' with friends (& strangers),eating good food, running my business, traveling, thinking big, living a healthy lifestyle, being optimistic, relaxing, the ocean, and driving fast cars. :)
I refuse to settle for an average, mediocre life of going to college, getting a job, working for 50 years, retiring on a small income, living in a little house, and driving a buick
I will be rich, I will not have a job forever (will retire young), I will travel the world many times (and in style), I will have a beach house, I will take good care of my wife and family, I will give millions of dollars away every year (To Christian humanitarian organizations which are statistically far more effective than secular ones), and I will travel to space some day. And I'll be having a blast the whole time!
I like hanging out with people, as well as spending some time alone. I know how to get things done but I also know how to relax. (There is a time for everything!)
I currently live in a sweet apartment in Minnetonka. I have a fireplace and my own washer and dryer!
Right now I work downtown during the day and am an entrepreneur with my business at night. I'm on track to be retired and financially set for life before I'm 30. :-) After that I will move onto things that are more important to me than work and money. One example is that I want to be a missionary that can support myself (& family) and build churches with my own money rather than having to ask churches to sponsor me so that I don't starve while I'm in the missions field.
As far as "religion" goes, I am a Christian but I'm not all about the habitual mindless activities that go on in lots of churches. For example: Go every week, stand up, chant some stuff, sing a song, don't smile, pretend you're always happy just to impress your church friends, etc. I do love and know Jesus and believe that Christianity is about a relationship, not a religion. It's not just something my parents do- it's the core of my life.
I don't think that I am better than anyone. I believe that everyone is awesome deep down and created to succeed. There are many ways that people can get stuck somewhere. Some are: They may get complacent with life and not want to change or improve themselves anymore. Or they might have been told a lie at some point and then believe it the rest of their lives even though it's not true! For example: "You're bad at math", "You're a loser", "You're ugly", or something like that.
I don't even know you and I already know that you are capable of more than you think.
