about me.

my name is matt.

I wish I could say I'm a recent graduate from the University of Oregon's School of Journalism and Communication, but that was more than two years ago now.

Picture of Me

Now that I'm a real grown-up boy, I work at a local engineering consulting firm as a marketing coordinator, which means that I spend my days writing about steel trusses and precast concrete girders. I'm also on a team to redesign my company's website, which has really helped me polish my Web design skills in the safety of a corporate environment :)

I grew up in the Eugene area, in the neighboring town of Springfield. Amazingly, I have resisted the urge to "cowboy up" in the meth capital of the world. I have four boys, including a twin brother named Kurt. Kurt and I do not have psychic powers.

When I'm not at work, I'm either wasting my time online or trying desperately to get rid of the backlog of missed TV shows on my DVR. I also spend more time than I'm willing to admit re-watching all 10 seasons of "Friends" on DVD (I have thus far resisted the urge to name pets after "Friends" characters). I also read numerous entertainment and music blogs to keep up-to-date on all the important Hollywood headlines. My mind is like a steel trap for useless pop culture trivia, so I've got to keep it fresh somehow, right?
