Profile

What was your graduating class year? If you were a dormie, which one?
1987; "If you were a dormie, which one?" um, let's see -- in 85-86, I was the dormie that lived upstairs on the far left; in 1986-87, I was the dormie on the bottom floor, second from the right.
What years were you at Lakenheath?
1985-87
Where are you now, and where have you been?
Marlow, OK 2008 -
Little Rock, AR 2006-2008
Russellville, AR 2002-2006
West Memphis, AR 1998-2002
Live Oak, FL 1997-98
Trenton, FL 1997
Severna Park, MD 1995-97
Lanett, AL 1991-95
Jacksonville, AL 1987-91
What's new with you? Work, play, relationships, family?
I have been married since 1998 to the former Sarah Weber. We have four kids - Matthew, Jr. 8; Maggie, 7; Mark, 2; and Micah, born Feb. 14, 2008. I am pastor of Fifth Street Missionary Baptist Church in Marlow, OK.
What did you do between Lakenheath and now?
I went to college at Jacksonville State in Jacksonville, AL. After graduating in 1991, I spent most of my professional career in the newspaper business as a journalist. I did just about everything in the newsroom at some point. I was mostly either a sportswriter or sports editor, but I was also a news editor, editor and page designer. I surrendered to the ministry four years ago and spent the past two years in seminary pursuing my master's degree in theology before accepting the call of the church where I am now.
Name some old Lakenheath classmates you have contact with and will tell about this site.

Hey man, Thanks for giving me a shout. Looks like you're doing excellent with a beautiful family. Me too brotha!! I miss those wrestling days sometimes -- Coach Whelan what a guy. Be well and keep in touch. Best.

Hey Matt....I am in Austin now...and LOVE it...it is so nice to see the sun!

Although moving all your crap still gets old but once you are settled it is very nice! :):)

It is funny, I do remember that run and that was sooo funny cause what i remember about that was that I did the PEE WEE HERMAN in the end zone :) What a sign of the times, haha....That was such fun stuff! Good memories for sure.

How are you doing?? How is the new church up in OK?

Oh Matt, so nice to hear from you. I always knew great things were planned for you - your Spirit always shone through. It makes me happy deep in my heart to hear that you've found your place.

Hey Matt, Yeah I remember lunch..... all those non- meat hamburgers, ugh all schools have them right! The fries were my favorite. I think we were all so very fortunate to have gone to such a small school compared to schools stateside, heck our grad class had under 90 people. We go back every so often and we always make a trip out to the base and walk through the school grounds, my dad worked out there up until a few years ago, one day I helped him with school papers and it felt weird being in the principles office, usually your in trouble right? We go back in a month for a visit, yeah. Danny says hello and sends his thanks, oh how he loved football. He mentioned something about Kevin Schitowsky and how the other team would get through and sack the QB. But not on your part. Take care..... Mary

Hi, Matt! I'm so glad to hear that all is well with you and your family! What a wonderful life you are living!

Matt !
So good to see you here and hear how well you and your family are doing. I would imagine this next endeavor of yours will be more fulfilling than anything you've done before - and I have no doubt that it will be a perfect fit for you (and those lucky enough to be getting you as their pastor) !!

Things with me moving right along - all is well :)
Post some photos of your wonderful family - can't wait to see !
