Matt's Bio

I'm a Journalism/Mass Communications major in Arizona. I've written for the Glendale Community College newspaper, The Voice, working as a sports editor and later as the managing editor. My ambition is to go into sports writing and/or broadcasting on a professional level, hopefully for the NBA.

I've always been a fan of basketball, whether it's watching, playing or writing on it. Playing is how I tore my ACL on my left knee, which was operated on in May, 2008. I'm currently doing intense rehab and physical therapy to get back to playing the sport I love.

I do public address announcing for basketball, volleyball, baseball and other athletic activities on the high school and junior college level.

  9. Hey Matt,

    Decided to have some fun with this. It's a humor piece about Survivor for athletes. I had a blast writing it, and I hope you get a good laugh out of it :)

    If you get the time, I'd love to hear what you think. If not, no worries.

    As always, really appreciate the support!

  10. Hey Matt,

    Yao Ming has done so much for the game of basketball, that I felt compelled to write a tribute. I'd love for you to take a look and let me know what you think! Again, I hope my passion comes through and it's a good read.

    http://bleacherreport.com/articles/124210-getting-oneal-and-moon-helps-but-the-heat-need-to-do-more-to-retain-wade

    Will the O'Neal trade help the Heat keep Wade in the future? Tell me what you think here.

  13. Hi , did you see the NY sports page on BR? it is not doing to well. it only has 4 fans, i think we should make it better and take the page under are wing, its time to for us to represent NY and show the world what this great place is all about. I asked Angel Navedo to be the community leader, we will see what he says. Are you in ?
