Matt Elberson

I earned my bachelor's degree in electrical engineering at Notre Dame in 1997, and then paid off Uncle Sam by serving 4 years as a naval officer in San Diego, CA.

I met my wife Jen while she was visiting San Diego and followed her back to Arlington, VA, after getting out of the Navy in 2001. While in northern Virginia, I got married (2004), worked for 2 defense contractors, earned my master's degree in software systems engineering at George Mason University, and shaved my head because apparently my hair had better places to be.

My wife gave birth to our son Dylan in May 2006, and we moved to Milwaukee, WI, a year later to be closer to family. Our daughter Grace was born in July 2009. I'm currently working at Rockwell Automation in Mequon, writing requirements for software that controls variable frequency drives for industrial applications.

I still miss watching Chris Baden spin high-speed 180s with his suped-up IROC Camaro in the school parking lot.
