From Paul Crozier Oakland, United States Jul 30 Positive Matthew is a really likeable, mellow down-to-earth guy. He's a great cook, shares a lovely apartment with his partner Shelia, and appreciates a good Belgium beer and bad B rated films...what more can one ask for in a couchsurfing friend? :p
From Parrish Gocha Long Beach, United States May 7 Positive Matt is a lay back guy. Enjoy going to his place trying to spin records, having drinks, watching movies or just chilling talking to him and Shelia. I will be friends with these guys for a long time.
From Jonathan Wilhelm Long Beach, United States Feb 23 Positive Great guy... Knows how to party. Prob the only one that made sure everyone made it to the bar. Can't wait to hang out again!
From ERINBUTTERFLY Torrance, United States Feb 3 Positive Matt is great, he was on my puzzle team and we all worked pretty well together. Matt and Sheila are a great, friendly, hospitable duo full of great energy and unique concepts to bring the community together. Keep wearing your smile!
From SLACK3R London, United Kingdom Dec 24, 2008 Positive We've meet for a couple of drinks in LA. Cool guy with a great sense of humour. Hope to meet up again.
From Lizzieintheoc Newport Beach, United States Nov 25, 2008 Positive To all the fun times during ANTM and many Good lucks! More and more OC Happenings awaiting for Matthew and Sheila's Presence...
From Steve Reynolds Long Beach, United States Sep 30, 2008 Positive Matthew and Shelia are Epic travelers you have to know. They know how to entertain as much as they party. Smarted, educated, well traveled and CS friendly. You don't want to miss any of their parties!!!!!
From WATERDANCER San Francisco, United States Sep 29, 2008 Positive Matthew is down to earth, easy to get along with and loads of fun. He is a fantastic dj, doctor, and friend. I don't know how many times I've crashed on his and sheila's couch after partying. He puts up with me scaring his cat with my hula hoop and my half naked performances.
From Jeremy Perlman Los Angeles, United States Jul 12, 2008 Positive Matthew is a super DJ, always stylish, and fun to party with.
From Lisa Satin San Francisco, United States Jun 30, 2008 Positive Matthew is a Cool Doctor... hard to find. Parties hard, is a DJ, and much more.
From Joyce Lee San Francisco, United States Jun 16, 2008 Positive We got to know each other over discussions on merits of Jane Fonda yoga and whether SpongeBob has bones. Matthew and Sheila are great fun... awesome people I look fwd to seeing again.
From Eric Marcos Pitarch Barcelona, Spain May 28, 2008 Positive I stayed at Matt's home in my first couchsurfing experience. We had some fun at night with his brother and friends. Certainly, Matt, Sheyla and their cat are a good company.
From Lillian Gomez Irvine, United States Apr 21, 2008 Positive Matthew rocks. Don’t let his suave looks deceive you. He is probably smarter than the average bear (which doesn’t say much, but that’s for you to decide). He has excellent taste in whiskey, a diverse taste in music and dances all night. I think there is a shortage of straight male dancers, so he gets bonus points. If I stay over their place, he lets me clean without any complaints. How about that? Ha!
From Natasha ~A Genuine Soul Boston, United States Oct 30, 2007 Positive One soulful brother who I love partying with...the white James Brown if I may say! Always welcoming when I'm at their place and when were out causing havoc in the city!
From Andrés Vielma Montreal, Canada Jun 6, 2007 Positive I did not get to talk to Matthew that much (we were a lot of people at La Quincaillerie) but he seemed to be a great person, really interested in Montreal, and getting ready to party at the Mutek festival.
From Oli Grant Montreal, Canada Jun 4, 2007 Positive Matthew and Sheila were so much fun! A real pleasure to host them for the Mutek Festival! Really easy going, sociable and nice! It was a pleasure to host you! He knows a lot about electronic music...and smelly cheese!!Take care!
From Ania Yeas Atlanta, United States Jun 4, 2007 Positive I surfed five nights with Sheila & Matt while in Boston!

From ROSLYN Cambridge, United States May 30, 2007 Positive He's a DJ, a DR and a de-lightful person. Hahaha that was lame but whatever, Matt's a great guy!
From Tanut Roojipiyaruk Chum Phae, Thailand May 27, 2007 Positive I met him in Cs Party at Jesse's house in Somerville! Oh, he's a doctor - pain doctor!

From Eric Geigle West Hartford, United States Dec 9, 2006 Positive Matthew was a very gracious, chill host. He introduced me to a great jazz club 'round the corner from his place, spun some great selections from his vinyl collection, and shared wonderful stories and observations about Boston, Long Beach, and life throughout the evening.
From Jesse Fenton Boston, United States Oct 23, 2006 Positive Matt is the man!!! We had a lot of fun with Matt and Sheila. They are full of energy and great to hang out with. We laughed a lot and had some great ethnic dinners. We can't wait till you move to Boston!!!
