Mathew Pett--Cheer Competition Judge!

I have had a busy and eventful ten years. Right after high school I attended a couple of quarters at Southern Utah University before serving a mission in Bristol, England. I was able to put all of the years of English classes to good use. When I got home I continued my education at SUU and declared accounting as my major… I know, I don’t seem like an accountant. Luckily, I had cheerleading to break up the monotony (and pay for a lot of my schooling).

I also joined SUU’s ballroom dance company and stuck with it for four years. I competed in many competitions in couples and team divisions. I love to perform and I was able to perform all around Utah, Idaho, Nevada, Arizona, Alaska, Hawaii, Texas, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, Germany, and the Czech Republic.

During my summers off I taught cheerleading camps for the United Spirit Association throughout the Western US. I remember going to these camps as a student and it was fun to be on the other side and pass on a week of grueling fun.

Since graduating with my Master’s degree in Accounting I have moved to San Diego to work in public accounting and currently work for College Loan Corporation as a finance accountant… I know, I still don’t seem like an accountant. So, to break up the monotony now I travel as a judge for cheerleading competitions. I’ve judged competitions in California, Arizona, Utah, Nevada, Mexico, and Guatemala. As if I don’t do enough, I’ve become quite the tour guide to all of the friends and family who come to visit San Diego. If you’re ever in town I’ll be happy to show you around.
