Mathew says ‘friendliness’ is one of his best traits.

What is something you love about Ithaca or surrounding area: The terrain, the gorges, waterfalls and the lakes. Winters are terrible, but during the summers here I’m not sure there’s a better place to be.

What is something people don’t know about you: Most people wouldn’t know that I’m part Hawaiian. My grandfather was stationed at Pearl Harbor and that’s where he met my grandmother.

What are 3 things you enjoy doing outside of work: Hiking with my soon to be wife and our dog, going to the cinema, and traveling in search of record stores.
