Hello...

  Hi, my name is Matt Karsten. I am a 5th grade teacher in East Longmeadow, MA. I also reside in the town with my wife and son. I have been teaching 5th grade for 4 years now. When I am not teaching, my time is spent with my family. We enjoy hiking, camping, and (obviously) going to the beach. I enjoy staying fit by running, working out at the rec. center, and playing tennis. I enjoy watching sports, especially college football (Michigan) and the NHL (Detroit Red Wings). We are originally from Michigan, hence the favorite teams. Before I was a father and wasn't enrolled in grad. school, I enjoyed playing guitar and touching up on my rusty, piano skills. I hope to pick it back up after graduation this December!
