Long time users of Search-This will no doubt know cpradio. Matt pretty much grew up on Search-This. When he was just a young lad in high school he was administering the forums and helping people with all their web related needs.
Matt’s passion has always been as a coder. Now that Matt has graduated college and become a full time software engineer there’s not many languages he hasn’t worked with.
Look for Matt’s, or rather cpradio’s first article this Monday titled: “OOP in PHP from a .NET OOP Perspective” – should be a good read.
I can’t really welcome cpradio as a new member to the team, because he has always been part of the team. So just enjoy his bio below.

[…] Today I was officially announced as an author at Search-This. I am completely psyched! I knew this was happening as I have been working on my first article/post all week (more like one day, but still, I had to proof read it a few times). Make sure you read my bio, you might find out something new and interesting about me. […]

Matt, I just realized your fondest memory is ‘LOOKING AT OLD CODE’! OMG – that’s my hell!
January 17th, 2007 at 4:17 pm
Can’t say I am surprised, I have seen your code and if I had to look back at that too, I would say I was in hell! 😛

Yeah, you’re right, no one wants to look at my old code…
