Matt Vensel's Articles

Matt, a content creator for b free daily, just earned his master’s degree at Towson University. He originally hails from Butler (aka Hickville), Pa., but he hopes you won’t hold that against him. Matt graduated from Penn State in 2005 and moved to Charm City a year later. When he’s not laboring away at b, he’s probably on a hockey rink somewhere getting pucks shot at his head or on his couch watching some sort of sporting event. Or if it’s happy hour, you can probably find him at the bar. E-mail him at matt(at)bthesite.com.
