Welcome to Matthew Stephenson's AboutUs.org Wiki Page

A little about me...
I am an entrepreneur and own the startup company RentItToday.com (search rentals). I use AboutUs.org to help promote the rental industry and make it easier for consumers to find rental company's websites and their items for rent. Aboutus.org is a valuable resource for cross-marketing complementary rental companies and service providers.

Most of my professional time is focused on SEO, inbound marketing, and social media network development for
Rent It Today along with an extensive list local and national rental companies.

When I'm not working...
I enjoy spending time with my friends and family and listening to music that jams. With two small children and a start up company, I do not find the time to go to the number of shows I use too, however I try not to miss quality "jam bands" when they play near-by.

Other hobbies that occupy my time are Fishing, Bird-Watching, Camping & Hiking, Astronomy (I'm an avid stargazer), Scottish History, and I'm into fish. I've kept & breed exotic African Cichlids from Lake Malawi for years and more recently have set up a reef tank.

C A T S CATS! CATS! CATS! - Go Big Blue

Anyone that knows me understands my passion for The University of Kentucky: Basketball and Football. I am a ridiculous & rather obsessive UK fan...own a nice UK memorabilia collection (most of which was acquired as a result of my time spent as a professional student on UK's campus from 1993 - 2001). Go CATS!!!

I also own a company CaliParti LLC, that sells Kentucky T-shirts. My partners and I enjoy interacting with UK fans, especially on Caliparti's : [}}} Facebook] "fan" page.

My Scottish Highlands Heritage

MacTavish Is Here!

My ancestors are from the Scottish Highlands and I have recently started studying my families history and genealogy. I am a proud member and serve on the Board of Directors of Clan MacTavish, an ancient Scottish Highlands Clan - ClanMacTavish.org.

My Great Great Great Grandfather, George Stephenson, came to the United States from the Aberdineshire Scotland region.

My mother's side of the family is "Scotch-Irish", labeled unruly, and forced to leave Scotland and migrate to Ireland in the 1600's. They soon after came to North America around the time of the French and Indian War, and settled the Sandy Mountain River Valley in Louisa, Kentucky.

“	Non oblitus - "Not forgotten"	”
—ClanMacTavish.org

Stephenson is a Sept of Clan MacTavish. While we have direct ties to a variety of ancient Scottish Clans, generally one follows their patriarchal lineage and since Stephenson is a Sept or family of the MacTavish we became members or in a sense already were MacTavish by default.
