Hello Everyone,
My name is Matt Wright and I currently live just outside Philadelphia on the Main Line with my wife and 2 daughter ages 4 and 7 months. I am currently in my Jr year at PSU world campus and looking forward to the exciting times ahead. I previously attended college back in the 90’s on a baseball scholarship to a Division 2 school but I never made it to the end due to some family issues that were going on. That being said, I enrolled back in college in 2019 and 4 semesters later here I am. I know that the Coronavirus is effecting people differently however I am taking this time and use it to my advantage to finish my degree and spend time with my growing kids. Once things become normal once again I feel as though I will be in a better position than I was back in March.
Other than spending time with my family, I am into golf, skiing and traveling to new places. I am also a PIAA basketball referee in the Philadelphia area which at first was a hobby that has now turned into a second career. I have learned from that job and my career in sales to take criticism and use that feedback to better myself. Being yelled at by a coach that is something that you have to get used to very early on in my referee career. But in high site, its how you handle it that makes you stand out among the other coaches and peers.
I look forward to this the class and best of luck to all of my classmates.
Thanks,
Matt
