CURRENT MISSION

I like learning and going on adventures! I also like discovering truth.

ABOUT ME

Hi, my name is Matthew. My friends call me Thew. I enjoy working at my local computer store, which also sells cell phones. I am good at helping people and I love learning new things. I studied the sciences growing up, and loved to draw. Now my expertise is in Video Editing, Digital Photography, and Mac computers. I enjoy being creative in many capacities- words, pictures, art, music. I don't like violence. I like being healthy and making wise decisions. If you asked me lots of questions, the conversation will surely turn philosophical quickly. I met my girlfriend, Clarissa, in 2009 at the University in Stevens Point. She plays the violin and loves seeing new places.

PHILOSOPHY

I search and live by truth and love.
