I am a teacher at Miami East High School where I teach Math and Computers. I am the assistant Girls Soccer coach, the National Honor Society Advisor, and the Yearbook Advisor.  Jason and I have two girls, Cher and Suzie, who swim for MCY.  In my spare time, I enjoy volunteering on deck with swim team, coaching the girls' soccer teams, and running.  You might see me in the summer at the Troy Aquatic Park where I have been an assistant manager for fifteen summers.  I have taught swim lessons at the YMCA since 2011. 

I am Matthew Christenson, I started my swimming journey at the age of 12 at a local summer team, the Castle Hill Paranahs. That winter I joined the Marlins and never looked back. I swam for six years under Coach Jim and Pam before deciding not to swim in college. I am currently a manager at the Benchwood Road Chick-Fil-A. This will be my second year assistant coaching the 11-12 practice. I can't wait to see all the fast times the kids put up this year.
