Matthew's Story
Okay, here's my life since high school. Immediately after graduation, I flew off to Seattle, WA where I attended the University of Washington for the next 4 years on a NROTC scholarship. I graduated in 1979 with an engineering degree and was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant in the Marine Corps. I retired from the Marines in 1999 and served in Hawaii, Washington, Oklahoma, Virginia, California, and Washington, DC. I made several deployments overseas where I got to visit places such as Kenya, Australia, Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong, Philippines, Korea and Japan. I met my wife, Laura in 1983 and we were married in 1984. We have two daughters and a son; Alex (21), Tory (19), and Stephen (15)....Expand for more
In 1989, I attended the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, CA and earned a Masters degree in Operations Research. After retiring from the Marines, we moved back to Seattle where I took a job with the Boeing company as an analyst. I discovered a passion for coaching, particularly youth football. Last year, I did something totally out of character and went on a leave of absence from Boeing and deployed to Iraq for a year as a civilian contractor attached to an Army Brigade performing trend analyses on Improvised Explosive Devices. Fortunately, the year passed quickly and I returned with all body parts intact! I've settled back into Boeing again and am enjoying time with the family again.
