I was born and raised in the Texas Hill Country; both Austin and San Antonio are where the heart is. I originally majored in exercise and sport sciences, but realized my passion is in sports journalism. I am an alumnus of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity. I intend to be be a sports reporter/anchor for a city that shares that same passion that I do with their team. Die hard fan of the San Antonio Spurs. The Dallas Cowboys and Texas Rangers aren't too shabby, either. Follow me on Twitter @mattmvillanueva
