In September of 2014 Matt took the biggest leap of his life and got married. Well, in fact, it wasn't so much a leap as a thoughtful step towards a greater way of life with a partner in crime who has been nothing but supportive and encouraging of the myriad pursuits Matt has endeavored to achieve (much as it might overwhelm her at times). Together, they have been rewarded with and now enjoy the presence of one of the happiest babies that has ever graced this globe.
