    • Matt, we are from Moorhead. Our son lives in Rochester so when we are here we love seeing a familiar and friendly face. You are the best.

    • I want to thank you for doing all that you had done because I do believe without your help I would not be writing this to you today. That's the power of Tv and the great work that you had done making it all work...

    • It was nice to see a familiar face on our trip to the Mayo clinic. We are from Oakes ND and my husband recognized you.

    • Matt is obviously a kind and
      caring individual with a good sense of humor. I've witnessed several
      occasions when his quick wit and positive comments have turned a bad
      situation into a good one.
