Out-of-Office Matt

Here’s a little bit of information about the things that I enjoy doing when I’m not practicing law.

Music

• John Legend in the morning
• Dave Matthews Band in the evening
• Sports talk radio anytime in between

Leisure Reading

• Home Game.  Because anything by Michael Lewis is worth reading.
• Presumed Innocent.  The first Turow book I’ve read since “1L”, which almost scared me out of going to law school. 

Golf Courses

• Recent favorite: Aronimink, in suburban Philadelphia, Pa. Home to the PGA’s 2010 AT&T National. Deceptively long with large, fast, sloping greens. A must to leave the ball below the hole!
• All time favorite course: (Disclaimer: I haven’t been to Pebble Beach… yet!) So hard to choose just one, so I am going to cheat and list three: Bandon Dunes, Whistling Straits and Galloway National.

NCAA Bracket

• Great Eight – Ohio State, Syracuse, Texas, UConn, Kansas, Notre Dame, Kansas State, Florida.
• Final Four – Ohio State, Texas, Kansas, Florida.
• Finals – Kansas over Ohio State

Latest Red Wine Selections:

• Karl Lawrence Cabernet Sauvignon. Enjoyed this with a good friend and a great steak.
• Frog’s Leap Cabernet Sauvignon. My wife’s favorite.

Family

• Sandra, my wife. My best friend. What more can I say?
• Elise is 9 years old, going on 18. She asked for an iPad for Christmas. An iPad! Whatever happened to American dolls and makeup?!
• Brooke is 6 years old, and loves when we read anything by Dr. Seuss.
• Davis, my 1 year old son, has changed my life forever.
