I’ve chased this dream since I was about 5 years old.  Most everything I’ve done in my life was inspired by the excitement that by learning more and becoming better I could, one day, have the skills to become a NASA astronaut. 

I am fortunate to have a wonderful wife and family, great parents and brothers, inspiring role models, and people who really, REALLY pushed me farther then I thought I could go.  I discovered a lot along the way... mostly things about myself! 

I’ve also been lucky to have had great jobs, opportunities and experiences in life.  (...very fortunate not to have been killed or seriously injured...)  I have had the privilege of leading the greatest soldiers, had great trust given to me, and earned respect where ever I have gone.  I am a happy man and am truly blessed!

My resume and list of life experiences is varied and “eclectic.”  I am a husband and a father. I am a full time clinical pharmacist specializing in emergency medicine and toxicology.  I am also an Eagle Scout, West Point Graduate, part time athlete/bomb disposal tech/electrician/physicist/mechanic/designer/

artist/business man/investor/public speaker/teacher/mentor... 

At the link below are copies of my current medical Curriculum Vitae (CV) and a few letters of recommendation to give you some background in the event you are asked to provide some information on me for this selection process.  Feel free to email me with any questions you have at: astronaut_matt@me.com
