My Story

Boy, where to start. So far it has been an interesting journey to say the least. If you haven't guessed it, I am the creator of this site. You can read more about that in the "About Us" section of the site.

I joined the Navy when I was around 19 and spent the next eight years in service to this great country. I was an electronics technician, working on radars and satellite communications spending my last few years as an instructor.

I left around 2006 and started working in Roseville as a technician. It was a very stressful time, trying to acclimate from a military lifestyle back to a civilian life. We had just found out that my wife was pregnant with our second child, we also learned I had cancer. What a bittersweet moment that was.

Cancer, what a horrible sounding word. It's hard to say and it's hard to think about. I had a very aggressive cancer, the doctors gave me a 50/50 chance.

Cancer turned out to be a real blessing, but what a rough road it was. I lost one of my kidneys, in addition to most of my lymph system. The Chemotherapy really did a number on me, I am still living with those side effects. All Glory to the Lord, he brought my family and I through it!

It's been almost four years now and I have been going to school and actually just graduated SOU with a Bachelors in Computer Science. What a blessing!!

So in my spare time I have been building websites. This was the second, www.matthewscaloriecounter.com was the first, and Im current working on a third.

So if people enjoy this site, Great! I will keep adding and updating it. As long as the site can produce a little money, I will keep it 100% Free. I have big plans for the site and cannot wait to implement them!

Eekers! I am just about out of room, I should probally fix that!
