Matt Rekow                                

Married now to Tatyana for 12 years. Two kids Alex (11) and Katya (12). Lived in Santa Cruz from 1996 until 2002. Lived in Tampere Finland from 2002 to 2006. Moved back to Santa Cruz in 2006 no plans to go anywhere else. Worked in the laser industry as an optical/systems engineer for 11 years. Currently working on thermal imaging cameras but still toying around with lasers. My wonderful wife Tanya is a professional musician (plays winds). Kids are growing up speaking both English and Russian. My Russian is pretty good now (in case Mr Bois ever reads this, I've done allot better in Russian than I did in Spanish!) Mountain biking is my big pass time now. I lost 20 pounds and am now only 5 lbs heavier than in high school. The kids are great but awrnrey (don't know where that came from). I still have more hair than anyone thought I would have by now. Guess that's about it. Sorry we couldn't be there!
