Matt Hartness: I am a native Arkansan and have lived here my entire life. I was born and raised in Crossett. I moved to Monticello to go to college in 1989 and have lived in Little Rock since starting law school in 1993. My time now is devoted to my family, my work, and my church. I spend a lot of my "free time" serving the youth at church. The one goal I set in my professional life was to find a job that would allow my wife to stay home and take care of our three children: Christian, Danielle, and Anna. My children have benefited so much from having their mother by their side teaching them during their early years. As long as I am able to teach my kids right from wrong I will consider myself a success no matter what I may or may not achieve in my professional life.
