As you can see, I rarely blog, though I love to read the blogs of others. Kelly's Korner is one of my daily favorites, and when "Show Us Your Singles" came around this time, I knew I had to feature my brother, Matt!
He's a multi-talented 23-year Christian guy living between Atlanta & Athens with good looks, and a great sense of humor to go with them!
Matt is one of the most fun guys I know - he has a great dry, witty sense of humor that will make you laugh until you cry - but he is also one of the most compassionate people I've ever met. He doesn't take himself too seriously and he has a flair for the dramatic. Matt is 100% comfortable in his own skin (see below), and he makes you feel equally comfortable when you're around him.
Matt has many diverse interests, and he's happy spending weekends doing everything from working out & participating in triathlons, attending church, and hiking & camping, to volunteering in his community with special needs children & the elderly or attending a show for a new indie band in downtown Athens. Matt is great with kids and spent many years volunteering and working as a music director and music therapist and fundraising for local camps for children with special needs.
In addition to his "day job" as a music therapist, Matt is a rockstar. He has his own band, has put out an album, and plays several shows a week. He writes all his own music & is extremely talented....who wouldn't want to be serenaded?!
Yes, Matt's funny, talented, tall (6'3"), rocks his Ray-Ban hipster glasses, and is "extremely good looking" (his words, not mine :), but his greatest qualities are his thoughtfulness, compassion, and genuine kindness toward others. In his profession, and in his personal life, he constantly goes out of his way to improve the lives of others. He's one of the most dependable people I know, and the thought and creativity he puts into everything show evidence of his faith and the way he selflessly cares about others. He is true gentleman & a fantastic boyfriend!
If you're a lover of great out of the box dates, laughing until you cry, and are always on the hunt for the next great band....why not do all those things with my brother?! He did catch the garter at a recent wedding... :)

Hi! I'm Megan-25-live in Northern VA, the pretty mountain part, not the city, love & live for the Lord, consider myself a music junkie, and I actually caught the bouquet at my friends wedding last Saturday (currently drying on my windowsill for the latest Pinterest fail/project) I think we have a lot in common-would love to know more.

Matt sounds WONDERFUL! I am also tall (5'9.5"), and taller guys are few and far between. I am 23 years old, have a Bachelors in Marketing, and a career in corporate sales for a publicly traded transporation company. Like Matt, I also have a love for the Lord and a heart for music, fellowship, serving my community, and children. I love to paint in my free time, so I can appreciate an artistic and dramatic flare! I am involved in several local non-profits, including serving as Chair of PR for the Junior League of Fort Smith. Our focus this year is Aging Out of Foster Care, and I spend much of my free time volunteering. I'm also incredibly family oriented and love a good time! Live music is one of my favorites. I also have a very witty and sometimes saracastic sense of humor and a guy that can make me laugh is a MUST!:) I would LOVE to get to know more about your sweet, sweet brother.

Hello! My name is Sarah and my sister has directed me to this page. I am 21 and am graduating this semester from UGA here in Athens. I am currently working at an Alzheimer's center, a local restaurant, and applying to school to be a Physician Assistant.

Hi! I'm Megan. I'm 24 years old and live in Florida, so not too far away! Matt sounds like a great guy and I'm interested in getting to know him! A little about me.. I graduated in May with my Masters degree and work as a Speech Language Pathologist (speech therapist) at a charter school for children with and without disabilities. I love my job and how rewarding it is. In my free time, I like to spend time with my friends and family, working out/running, listening to music, attending church, and going to the beach/other fun adventures!
ReplyDeleteI don't have a blog but can be contacted through email. My email is meganspe79@gmail.com =) Thanks!
Your brother sounds like a catch and I believe he would be a great match for my roomate, Jessica. She is 24 and lives in Boone, North Carolina where she teaches high school math. She is madly in love with Jesus, the most giving person I have ever met, hilarious, creative, compassionate, and absolutely beautiful inside and out. She loves extravagantly and lives each day full of joy because her Father has blessed her so. Her tumblr is johnsmountain.tumblr.com and if you would like a few more specifics about her, email me at hazelmustardseed@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed day!
