THEIR STORY
Ever since Matt was a kid he wanted to be a firefighter. Well, the first thing he wanted to be was a Ghostbuster but after he learned that wasn’t a real thing he clung to the firefighter dream. He had a miniature fire engine he’d drive around in, which drove his parents nuts, and even begged his mom to take him to the local station for tours. As he grew older Matt never lost focus and flew into the fire academy the day after his high school graduation. He’s been a firefighter ever since, experiencing some of the most intense moments in his life, but also the most beautiful as well. When it comes to impulsiveness, Matt has it down as an art form. The man gets carried away quite easily and he can find himself in sticky situations more times than he cares to admit. He figures life is too short so why not make the most of it? That impulsiveness is what led him to bounce from Lima to Vegas, then to San Francisco then New York to finally Ashford Valley. He wants to experience as much as the US has to offer. When it comes to what Matt does in his spare time, he loves to watch movies. He can dish out a quote or incorporate a movie reference without thinking. He has a tremendous passion for ABBA but he’ll listen to just about any kind of music. He doesn’t know the meaning of the word modesty and basically has his own style of living. He cracks jokes and loves to flirt and sleep around. He doesn’t like to admit this but Matt is quite dramatic. Scratch that. Very dramatic. That mixed with his passion can get quite comical at times. Finally he has a big heart and does what he can to help people, sometimes with no questions asked. Matt’s been in Ashford Valley for a few weeks now, taking over the Captain position after the prior Captain’s retirement. He’s adjusting to the slower pace compared to the New York madness. Ashford Valley does make Matt a touch homesick as it reminds him a bit of Lima, without the cow smell. He feels this is a great place to slow down and possibly start a family. He’s been on the go for years and feels he’s at a good place in his life to give an actual relationship a shot.
