Matthew is in grade 12 at Christian Academy in Japan (Tokyo). He likes playing with his dog, Sherman (a beagle). He competes on the high school track and field team. He is part of the student leadership team of his senior class. He hopes to apply his seemingly limitless stream of creativity by studying film and video production at Biola University, beginning in the fall of 2010.
