About Me

The name's Matt Glista. I'm a sophomore in Electrical Engineering at the University of Illinois, where skateboarding is harshly frowned upon. Skating a college campus is nothing like that misleading Tony Hawk level. In reality it involves constantly looking over your shoulder, staying at a spot for no longer than 10 minutes, running for your life, and facing harsh disciplinary action. Happy schooling, kids!
