Coverboy: Matt
Water Baby
Hailing from the Baltimore suburbs, 19-year-old Matt loves the water. He’s been swimming for 15 years, today working as a private swim coach and lifeguard on the side. A student at Kent State University in Ohio, Matt is majoring in musical theater with a minor in communications. When he’s not hitting the pool or the books, Matt likes dancing, going out to clubs, cooking and travel. Ever the typical Sagittarius, Matt prefers spontaneity and adventure to an orderly routine. He doesn’t have a boyfriend, but says he’s ”perfectly happy doing what I want.” Potential suitors will find this is one man who doesn’t like being anchored down.
