Well, this is me, Matthew Shriner, 14 year old, 8th grade, Teen Entrepreneur, owner of                          Mitts For Your Ears, who sells only Ear Mitts® bandless ear muffs. This page is about my personal life.

 I finally did it!  I went out for a day of guided fly fishing this summer with a company called Dreams on the Fly.  They've even got big wigs flying in from corporations on the east coast! Dave and Rhonda, the owners, were AWESOME!  Be sure to check out their website.  They really know what they're doing and make it fun!

                        

I  love to play soccer and I'm really good at it, but we don't have a team in our little town of Parma, Idaho on the Oregon border.  But I have learned to play tennis and gotten pretty good at it, too.  I took first place for my school team in the district and got a trophy.  Cool!

I'm really lucky because each summer there is a group of PhD's who come to the Boise State Agricultural Extension Center to do experiments about nemotodes and other weird stuff that's really important for the sustainability of America's crops.  Anyway, they come from around the world like India, New Guinea, South Africa, Pakistan and other neat places.  And they love to play tennis!  So almost every evening during the summer I get to play with them. This picture of me in the red shirt with them is two years old now. The other one is my team picture.

                                                                                                                                                                  

I have a Russian high desert tortoise named Bisquit.  He spends most of the warm weather outside, but when I put him in his cage he tries to climb out.  Sometimes he even hangs from the top!  Nobody believes me so I'm putting his picture here.  He smiled for the camera
