Bio - Matt

I suppose it is unnecessary for me to write a detailed personal profile because all of my attributes were correctly selected within moments of starting the “name game” last week. That said there is a bit more depth (not much… kidding) to my personality than skiing, law and New Hampshire.

Inspired by a need for environmental and healthcare reform, I have long been involved in political activism, supporting candidates that I believe would get our country back on track. After losing two consecutive heart-breaking races, I finally earned a mark in the V column by helping elect a Democrat over the incumbent Republican Governor of NH during the 2004 election. In the spirit of individualism and general distrust of government, the NH governor has a two year term in office, so I returned home this summer to work on the reelection campaign.

I decided to attend GMU because of the excellent political science program and close proximity to our nation’s capital. With a concentration in legal studies – under the umbrella of integrative studies – I am following the pre-law track and hope to attend law school someday. Over the course of the summer, most of my leisure time was occupied with LSAT logic games as I am preparing to take the exam later this fall.

At any rate, I’m sure we’ll all get to know each other in the coming months, so I will leave it at that.
