“Matt is one of those people who can put his mind to any task and create brilliant results. Is he an unstoppable force of nature that moves the very time and space continuum to his own liking?  Well… no, but in reality it never ceases to amaze me when I see yet another thing that he’s accomplished and not just with a passing grade, but with a style and light all his own. I marvel at the seemingly effortless nature of his many accomplishments and talents, even though I know the force behind his accomplishments is a work ethic and determination not readily found in society today. I tell people all the time that Matt is one of those people who is just good at everything. I should hate him for it really, but that is a vast impossibility because of his humble demeanor towards his extraordinary gifts. Matt has a big heart, a creative mind, and a talented and wise soul well beyond his years.”
