Lifeguarding Bio
Matthew J. Weinkam (LG, CPRPR, WSI, MVL ’04)
Despite the high hopes of friends and family alike, Matt did not make it through his first year at Miami and was asked to withdrawal from the university after failing all his classes, including both The Eastern European Vampire Tradition and Social Dance. Unsubstantiated accusations of “juicing” from the club Ultimate Frisbee team added insult to academic injury and left him with a scarred reputation and minimal, at best, hopes for the future. Looking to find any silver lining to the near apocalyptical clouds of his short lived collegiate career, Matt plans on using his new found free time to write songs for his indie rock band, Nun Shield, and write a best selling memoir about his life as an obsessive compulsive youth swim team coach of the legendary, bizarre Mighty Meatballs of Western Hills that will, with any luck, one day become a feature film. He still enjoys pretzels, a hot bubble bath by candle light, and, of course, long walks on the beach.
