Welcome back to this our fifth installment of Getting To Know Your Ghostbusters! Sorry for the delay, not only did we have events on friday night AND monday nights, but I (Paul) had company this weekend. So without further ado..I bring you Matt Burkit!

PGB: Matt, tell us a little about you. Who are you? What do you do besides Ghostbusting? Do you have any other hobbies or interests?

Matt: Well my name’s Matt Burkit, and I’m obviously a member of the Philadelphia Ghostbusters.  When I’m not parading around in a khaki jumpsuit with a big hunk of plastic and electronics strapped to my back, I’m a child therapist by day and a full time graduate student by night.  I am working on my Masters of Education in Secondary Ed. Counseling.  It’s a long program and I’m about one third of the way done.  As for other hobbies, I don’t do much else besides read and play video games when the mood strikes me. Between work, school and this group, most of my time is filled up. (more…)

Matt has been one of our leaders in amazing prop building and here are a few videos showing off his equipment:
