Hi there. I'm Matt, I'm 35, live in Scott, grew up in Paragould. Been an Arkie all my life except for about 4 months when I took a job with the National Park Service in Van Buren, MO. I loved it up there on the Current River, but it wasn't home. Moved from there to Pine Bluff (White Hall) for a short 4 years while working on the campus of UAPB for the USDA. 8 yrs ago, I transfered to Stuttgart (still with the USDA), but I got married to them most pretty girl int he world, and she made me move to Scott, so I drive to Stuttgart everyday to work.

I have hunted and fished since I was old enough to hold a bb gun/fishing pole. I usually fish Old River or Bearskin Lake inScott. Sometimes I venture out and go to Clear Lake in Englad, White River Refuge lakes, Cash River, Lake Conway, Ark River, among other places. I am not a good crappie fisherman, but I stumble onto a mess every now and again.

I LOVE the St Louis Cardinals, to me there is no other baseball team (or any team for that matter).

I am a member of Pulaski Heights UMC, have a pretty good sized garden, 6 chickens, a boy I call Catfish, have diabetes (juvenile), my dad means the world to me, so does my mom, I am going to run the LR Half Marathon this year (good Lord willing), and I sometimes tie my own crappie jigs.
