Matt Curren,
Application Dev. Manager
I was born in Ethiopia and moved to the United States in 1993. I grew up in a large family with six sisters and I was the oldest boy. I recently graduated from DeVry University on March 13, 2011 with a Bachelors degree in Networking Communication Management.
Growing up, my role model was my parents who taught me the importance of working hard and influenced me to dream big. I enjoy activities that challenge me to think outside the box and working with others to find the best solution.
