Hey, my name's Matt, I'm from the great state of Texas, and I went to the Future Leaders Summit on International Diplomacy, July 23-Aug 1, 2007. We spent 5 days in New York City and 5 days in Washington D.C. It was one of the most AMAZING weeks of my life, and I rreeaallyy miss all my p2p friends. I was on Bus 3 (the best bus), and I was in Francisco's group (the BEST group). On Bus 3, we debated the HIV/AIDS Crisis and we passed three resolutions! I was the delegate for Indonesia, and I sponsored one of the resolutions.

Richard, Nicole, Truelove, Jackie, Shane, Kerry, Adam, Natalie, Stella, Kandy, Kristen, Alain, Federico, Daniel, Andy, Randy, Asian, Ben, Jesse, (and the list goes on...) -- y'all are AWESOME!! I miss you!!!

Alright, about me: I live on a ranch in Texas, I play tennis, I play the keyboard and guitar, I also like basketball, running, reading, chess, and, as a technology-minded guy, programming and tweaking electronics. I have a small computer-services company (see below), and I'd probably like to major in some type of computer engineering in college. I like to listen to Country and Christian music, and my favorite band is the Gaither Vocal Band. They're amazing!

I own and operate a computer-services company (yes, me=geek) ;-)
Boring commercial: I provide a variety of computer services, including website design, graphic design, photograph restoration, image editing, logo creation, and technology & computer consulting.
