About Matt »

My name is Matt Ketelsen. I was born and raised in Buffalo, N.Y. Resided in the suburb of Depew until I was 16. I then moved to Knoxville, TN, for a couple years and returned to Buffalo when I turned 18. When I was 21 I moved down to Florida. I had a friend stationed in the military in Fort Walton Beach, FL, and when he told me to come on down, I couldn't resist. The Emerald Coast is beautiful. But I miss Buffalo and make it up there any chance I get. I'm currently a certified SCUBA diver and plan on attending a dive school in the FL Keys in the upcoming year to become a dive instructor. The underwater world is the most serene and beautiful place on earth. Not to mention getting paid to have fun is not a bad gig. Well, that's a little about me. Won't bore you guys anymore. Oh, and anyone can feel free to contact me at ketelnutz@aol.com.
