Matthew Craven

Life is about balance... working hard, playing harder... Its about relationships, results and self reliance.

I have a wide range of interests which seem to grow by the day.. Its up to us to take chances and experience life to its fullest. I truly believe in "live life, no regrets". As our lives are filled with potential and opportunity.

What keeps me ticking? My hobbies, my family, my friends and my thoughts.

Traveling, Hiking, Photography, Fitness (Marathon, Spartan Race & Tough Mudder), Arts and Music.

And yes! I love food, really good food (will try anything once). I finally tried raw oysters and LOVED them. And of course with amazing food you need to have a great IPA beer.
