About Matt »

Hey everyone.

I'm a sportswriter living in the bay area where I do things like hang out with my fiancee, watch sports, and go sing karaoke. I'm a huge UK fan and I'm already prepared to celebrate our 2010 National Title. I love B/R and I'm looking forward to writing more and getting to know the personalities on the site.

Also, thank you to everyone who has commented on my articles. I really appreciate your feedback and support.
