Did You Know?
Mat has lived in Washington, DC, since 1998 but enjoys his passion for traveling outside the confines of the Washington beltway as often as possible. Favorite experiences – so far – include bungee-jumping in New Zealand, rafting through the Grand Canyon and lounging in a comfy chair on any warm, sandy beach he can find.
