Hi. My name is Matt. I'm just some guy. I enjoy food, in fact, I eat it at least three times a day. I like setting my alarm to times that are palindromes. My favorite word is quandary.

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't watch movies much, but Back to the Future is timeless. (Har har.)

Los Campesinos, The New Pornographers, and Biffy Clyro are great bands. Ke$ha is underrated. I like listening to dramatic movie music on planes when taking off and landing, it makes the moment seem more dramatic.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is the greatest book ever. Shakespeare was the Douglas Adams of his generation.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've bicycled the length of Vietnam.

Teach, Learn, Share

California produces 82% of the world's almonds.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Sarcastic wit and a empty stomach.
