My name is Matthew Manley. I am 27 years old. I was born and raised here in St. Louis. I currently live in Soulard, an area I really enjoy living in. I went to St. Mary's High School located on S. Grand. I went to Meramec/Stlcc and earned an Associate's degree. I also worked for several years in a couple of small unions based downtown (The stagehands local 6, and the decorator's local 39). Working all hours of the night setting up concerts and conventions was actually kind of fun and the money wasn't bad. My goal was always to be a police officer though, so I began continuing my education at UMSL and I applied to the SLMPD. I finally made it into the academy and now here I am. I really like my job as a patrolman. My days go by so quickly and every day is a new experience.
