About Me

Matthew Dworkin

You know I do the software thing, but believe it or not, there's lots of other things that I enjoy doing in my free time - whether it's running a new trail, or picking up a new instrument, I most enjoy doing things that bring me closer to others and open opportunities for me to meet new people. Don't hesitate to reach out and share your thoughts on anything I have on here!

Running

Discipline Before Motivation

Running keeps everything else sharp for me. I always feel better after a run, preferably with a friend. Some of the best conversations I’ve had have happened during long runs. Distance running has a special place in my heart because it rewards consistency over motivation. You can’t fake a long run — you just have to keep going. Over time it teaches discipline, patience, endurance, and the value of delayed gratification. Recently my Achilles tendinitis came back, so I’ve been cross-training and playing other sports in the meantime.

Music

Spring Street & Drums

Spring Street is the band my friends and I started about a month ago. We're mostly new players and I started learning the drums for it! It's been tough but playing songs I love in front of an audience has always been on my bucket list and I can safely say we survived our first "concert" and some people even said they liked it! Follow our instagram if you want to check us out next time we perform!

Friends & Family

It's impossible for me to imagine my life without all of the positive influential friends and family I've been so fortunate to have. It's so important to have people in your corner you can count on in good time and bad times. I have two amazing parents who are both successful engineers themselves and two wonderful sisters who keep me grounded. A special note goes to my twin Rebecca who has truly been with me in all stages of my life (GOAT). Since moving to Atlanta for college, I've been lucky to meet some of the best friends I could ask for and I hope to continue to grow my circle of friends as much as possible. If you want to chat about anything at all, please don't hesitate to reach out!
