Who I Am
- My name is Matt Hancher. Currently, I am a Junior at the University of Pittsburgh pursuing a degree from the College of Business Administration in the field of Marketing and minoring in Economics.I can proudly call myself an Account Executive at the University of Pittsburgh's student run newspaper, The Pitt News. Being a part of this 100+ year old tradition is a great honor and remarkable learning experience. Everyday, I gain valuable experience by interacting with my clients. I handle 3 sales zones within the Pittsburgh Area. They include Squirrel Hill, The Waterfront, and Greenfield.Outside of work and my studies, I spend my time hanging out with friends and family, listening to music, following the NHL, and running. Running played a big part in my life. My grandfather influenced my father to start, and my father influenced me. I have currently run in over twenty 5k races, and in 2010 I completed my first marathon when I ran a time of 4:25 in the Dick's Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon. That is one of my proudest accomplishments to this date.

Clean design for a clock. I want one, but I’m sure I would just revert back to looking at my phone to check the time.
All I ask of you is one thing: please don’t be cynical. I hate cynicism — it’s my least favorite quality and it doesn’t lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard, and you’re kind, amazing things will happen.”
