10 Things You Didn’t Know About Matty

I'm the new guy at WGNA and you are still getting to know me.  And lately, all I have been talking about are my new son Emmett (Can you blame me?) and beer (Again, can you blame me?). So,  here are 10 things you didn't know about me!

1. I am a HUGE NY Knicks Fan. My heart is still broken from all those losses to Michael Jordan back in the day.

2. I have been playing guitar since I was 10. I have played in a few bands over the last few years in New England.

3. In college, I once partied all night and ended up in Las Vegas the next morning (See my statement about beer above.)

4. After telling a joke to Miranda Lambert, she told me: 'It's a good thing you're married because that was terrible.' She said that with a straight face!

5. I have a terrible addiction to Fantasy Football. My wife Stacy can tell you how electrifying or miserable Sundays can be in our house during football season.

6. I am new to the Upstate NY, but not unfamiliar. I have visited the Adirondacks every summer since 1993 and have spent many a night partying in Albany & Saratoga with friends who live here.

7. Speaking of Saratoga, I think it's one of the coolest cities on the planet. Great restaurants and bars (Again, see statement about beer above)!

8.  I don't eat dessert. If I have steak for dinner, I have another piece of steak for dessert.

9. I once met Steven Tyler from Aerosmith. He spent more time flirting with my wife than talking to me. If I were him I would have done the same.

10. I love country, but I am also a big rock guy. When I am not jammin' out to my Nashville faves, it's a lot of Van Halen, Led Zeppelin & The Black Crowes.

Phew. Now I can go back to just talking about Emmett & beer.
