 Where did you attend school?

I spent my freshman year at Cadillac High School.  I moved to Elkart and  graduated from Elkhart Memorial High School in Elkhart, Indiana in 1993.   In 1997, I received my Bachelor's Degree from Ball State University (GO CARDS!). 

You have kids right? 

Yes indeed.  I have 3 daughters.  Abigail, Emily and Anna.  They are each 17 months apart from each other in age.  

 I seem to remember you having a twin brother, is that true?

Yes, I have an identical twin brother.  To respect his privacy (which he holds very sacred), his name will not be given here or in any other locations affiliated with me.   He is 6 minutes older than I am.  As of Dec. 2007, he is a contributor to matt.maskill.com

 I also heard somewhere you were possibly writing a book?

Yes.  The book should be completed by the end of this year.  More information will be listed at matt.maskill.com as time goes on.  For other writing, check the main page of  matt.maskill.com.

UPDATE!  The book is finished.  Next step, getting it published.  Another book is in the works.  A book about...cheap beer.  

What else do you do for fun?

I have taken up fishing in the past couple of years and have fallen in love with the sport.  In the summertime, I love to spend my time camping.  Camping has become a family tradition for us and we seem to have more and more fun every year.  I am also a farily active runner (you may have seen me in some local races.)  In 2006, I elected not to compete competively due to a series of nagging injuries (broken pinky toe, among other things.)  I will be picking it back up this winter and competing in 2008.

Other favorite activities include writing, playing and composing music on the piano, and I am a pretty big video game enthusiast.  I am learning to program in Python and I also have a little Visual Basic experience.

When it comes time to sit down and relax, I love watching Arena Football (Grand Rapids Rampage) as well as the NFL ( Detroit Lions.)  I am also a HUGE fan of The Price is Right.

Speaking of The Price is Right, haven't you said you would like to be the next Johnny Olsen?

That statement is kind of true.  Although I admire the late Johnny Olsen (no one brought the "come on down!" like he could!), I actually would like to be the next Bob Barker/Drew Carey.  When its time for Drew to step down, it is my dream to land the audition and host the greatest game show host in history.

What is your favorite song right this minute?

I am particularly fond of "Apple Candy" by Ben Lee.

 I saw something about the Pac-Man Pancake.  Is that story true?

Yes. Click the link on the left.  

Why does this page look like this?

That answer is simple really.  I COULD make this page with all the latest good stuff, but I preferred the internet when it was in its infacy.  A simpler time really.  This is a throwback, or a dedication to those times.  So, to answer the question, it is intentionally made this way.

Really?

Yes.  Really.

Where do you get the inspiration for What If Matt...?

Most of it comes from seeing random images on the internet.  Sometimes people tell me what to put on there.  I look for things that are familiar and a little out of date.  This makes for a funnier picture.
