Matt and Kerri were married in June, 2010, and currently reside in Lanai City, Hawaii. In July 2009, Matt completed I Do, a song used as the theme song for his wedding. I Do was reviewed by Nashville singer/songwriter Ruby Amanfu, who called it "highly cinematic" and "great for a movie theme." He keeps himself busy writing music, attending songwriters' workshops, and taking online classes with the University of Berklee School of Music. In December 2009, Matt completed the class "Songwriting For Film and TV" through Berklee and hopes to soon have his music placed in that media. |
