About WelcomeMatt
Even though my profile name is "WelcomeMatt," I am a female! My real name is Mary. I work for The Bakersfield Californian and I'm also a recent newcomer to Bakersfield. I moved from hometown of Santa Barbara, CA to Bakersfield in 2004, because of the affordable housing here. I hope you will enjoy living in Bakersfield as much as I have!
I am married to a wonderful man from Switzerland and our only children are 2 very spoiled cats. We live in Southwest Bakersfield, but in an older home we have been remodeling ourselves little by little. We've almost got it finished! I probably have been to every hardware, plumbing & home improvement store in town.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions you have about Bakersfield!

Thank you for contacting me. I actually arrived in mid-April and have enjoyed my new town and state so far. I am looking forward to meeting others in the community. I have two sons in college and my cat Alex moved here with me. I am learning to play tennis and would welcome the opportunity to practice with anyone.

Thank you for the welcome. I am moving to Bako the end of May. I am actually originally from Bakersfield but have lived in Hawaii off and on the past 16 years.
