Matt, a 1992 K-State graduate, has been at KMAN since 1994.  He served as Sports Director for six years and has been the Program Director since 2000.  You’ll hear Matt virtually every day on KMAN middays from 11a.m. to 4 p.m. and as host of “The Game” which airs weekdays from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.  Matt serves as the play-by-play announcer for Manhattan High football and boys basketball.  He also co-hosts “Scoreboard Saturday” with KMAN Sports Director Tyler Haines.  Matt’s also very involved with Kansas State sports coverage on KMAN.  During the football season, whether K-State is at home or on the road, you’ll see Matt on location with KMAN’s “Powercat Gameday” pregame show.  He’s a part of the K-State Sports Network as the sideline announcer for KSU football, color analyst for KSU men’s basketball, and play-by-play for K-State baseball along with Brian Smoller.  Matt is also the public address announcer for the K-State women’s basketball team and has served in that role since 1994.
Matt and his wife, Megan, live in Manhattan.  He’s been active in the Manhattan American Legion Baseball program as a coach and general manager.  When he has free time, Matt enjoys golfing, traveling, and as you might imagine, watching games on TV.
