Many people know me as Matthew. I am pretty awesome.

Mostly by choice, the ever changing Syracuse, NY is where I call home. In a city with a perpetual inferiority complex, I try and remain bright and cheerful, resolved that things will be better soon. Often met with shock and disdain, I continue to preach the attitude that Syracuse is in fact a great place to live.

Currently employed as a Computer Systems Analyst, I tend to gravitate my professional attention toward new media and the ability to use new and social media as a tool in the workplace. When not practicing computer skills, I dabble in the financial management sector. As with most Americans, my portfolio is currently suffering but I think that my decisions will pay off when the market rebounds. I am a rental property enthusiast, constantly looking for new property to research and invest in.

This is a collection of the writings, photos, videos, and the random thought processes that drive my existence.
