My full name is Matthew Joel Quemada, Mateo is just a nickname.  My middle name was supposed to be Isaiah, but my mother changed it without telling my dad.  I recently graduated from Kalamazoo Christian High School and I now attend Grand Valley State University. You can check out some of my other friends  here.  I plan to major in Film and Video Producion.
 

I ran cross country and track while in high school with my best friend Andy.  Now I just run when I feel like it.  I have been playing floor hockey lately because my roomate, Ryan, is a huge hockey fan.  His web page you can get to  here.

Here's a random shot of me and my girlfriend Jill.

My father is a native of the great nation of the Philippines.  My mother on the other hand is from Patterson, NJ.  So I'm half Filipino and half Dutch.  My Dad runs his own business called  Crop Technology Inc.

I unfortunatly have three siblings.  I have and older sister, Rebecca, who is pre-med at Calvin College.  A younger brother, Daniel, who is in eighth grade at Kalamazoo Christian Middle School.  I also have a younger sister, Elizabeth, who is in sixth grade also at Kalamazoo Christian Middle School.

In my spare time I love to play the guitar.  Although I'm not the greatest I still love to jam!

Since I am a film major I love to watch movies.  I particularly like movies about war.  My favorite war movie is Saving Private Ryan.  I like them not for the violence, but because they honor those who had to fight and those who gave their lives so I could live freely.
