Matt says "I have the perfect traditional family setting...the beautiful woman by my side, two wonderful kids (boy - 6, girl - 1), and even the family dog (beagle). While no family is perfect, my family is just what I want and need out of life and that is all that matters.
After family, I have an avid passion for sports and thus fantasy sports. While my luck is not the greatest and you won't see me hovering at the top of the standings, that does not mean that I enjoy it any less. While it would be great to be successful, competing is truly just enough fun to keep my interest."
