Uh...
So I guess I forget to post here a lot. That is because I'm usually busy with my other two sites:
My personal site: Matt and Nancy Heerema.
My Web design site: Matt Heerema Designs.
You can read interesting stuff there.

About Me
- Name: Matt Heerema
I fancy myself to be the consummate "Jack-of-all-trades, master of none". Throughout life I have always had a wide variety of interests. I never fit into any of the cliques in high school. I was a jock, but also a band geek, and artist, a book worm, and, generally, a nerd. In college, I started off in Engineering (computer engineering to be exact) and ended up graduating with a degree in Psychology and Religious Studies. I think I've had a class in every single one of Iowa State University's buildings. Naturally, this translated to my career.
As a Web Designer, I have a love for art, and a knack for code. I found myself able to speak both languages, so, very naturally fit right in to a "front-end architecture" role, being able to bridge the gap from the designers to the programmers. I have as much fun laying a page out in Photoshop (Fireworks, actually, is my weapon of choice), or marking that page up in XHTML/CSS, as I do of massaging in dynamic functionality with JavaScript and PHP.
I also help to lead our church's college ministry. I serve as a music coordinator and mentor of young men, helping them to figure out what direction God might have for them in their life.
I am a child of God. I grew up in a religious setting, but the religion didn't have anything for me. Eventually what I found was a very real, very caring, very active God who wants to interact personally, outside of the mandates and rules of an institution. In other words, when I was a hypocritical, egocentric liar, Jesus saved me.
I am a husband, father, musician, and computer geek. I wish I were a Rock Star, Dragon Slayer, Visionary, and Spaceman. I am a Dreamer, Crusader, and Insufferable idealist. I buck at stereotypes, though I fit several. I delve into my family, relationships, career, and hobbies with passion and fury. I'm young and naive and hope to remain that way.
