Matt's Story
Life

Here are the short notes on my life so far:
I got married and moved to South Carolina after graduating from UF. Changed careers and moved back to FWB in 1994 and worked for the same company for close to 10 years before striking out on my own. We moved to a fixer upper in 2004 and have been working on the house and yard on and off since then.

1 daughter (now 14),
4 dogs (1 Golden Retriever and 3 mutts),
2 birds (1 Cockatiel and an Eclectus parrot),
and the random snake or three that visits my yard from the base range down the road!
