     I'm Mr. Matchock.  I have taught at Glendale for 11 years. In 1999, I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown.  While there, I majored in Secondary Education Social Studies and History.  I also minored in Geography.  While attending UPJ, I played ice hockey for 4 1/2 years.  I continue to take college courses while I'm teaching.  I'm also certified in Drivers Education which I was able to acquire in the summer of 2009 while attending Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP).  I also continue to take classes through the University of La Verne out of California.  Before attending college, I attended Glendale High School. 

     I not only teach here at Glendale, I also coach the girls varsity basketball team.  I have been coaching the girls for 10 years.  I was also the assistant boys junior high basketball coach and assistant seventh grade football coach my first year.  I coached baseball from 2006-2008.

     In my spare time, I like to play roller  hockey and softball.  I try to keep active and it is also a good way to meet new people.  I'm a huge Pittsburgh Penguins fan.  I attend between 5-8 games a season.  If I'm not watching a game in Pittsburgh, I watch them on televsion.  I'm also a huge Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Pirates fan.  As you can tell, I like my sports.  If I'm not playing it, I'm watching it.
