Matt Brown

Matt is a tall-ish person. He has been known to say things loudly that should be whispered and can play a mean hand of gin rummy. A graduate of Notre Dame in 2011, he now attends Medical School at the University of Florida, which is no surprise to anyone who knows his fondness for activities, the sun and water. He is a huge fan of Tampa sports teams, the Orlando Magic and of course Notre Dame, and he often lets this affect his commentary.
