Matt is a lifelong Jazz fan and aspiring sportswriter who is passionate about the team and gets far too emotionally invested in the wins and losses. He is indoctrinating his nephew into the cult of Jazz and the lad already has a passionate hatred for the Lakers, which makes Matt very proud. He has an English degree and an Information Technology degree, which make excellent decoration pieces on his wall.
