About Matthew

I am a 23 year, combat veteran, that has worked in field artillery, diesel mechanics and aviation maintenance (16 years of aviation) throughout my career. However I find the most joy in helping people, managing, and computer science and database development. I have a degree in Professional Aeronautics but I am currently in the pursuit of another degree in Information Technology. I have decided over this last year that I want to work in IT, I would say because it offers the variety akin to the military. I am thinking of a Systems Administrator, Program Development, Database Management or Security and Structure. I have a beautiful wife and five lively boys from 16 down through 4. I just want to be able to enjoy my life with them and build the memories that they can reflect back on when they grow up and possibly have kids of their own. I'm not looking to be Scrooge McDuck rich, I just want to enjoy the opportunities that I wasn't able to give them for the past 16 years.
