This is Matteson's first semester as a Professional-in-Residence at Nebraska's College of Journalism and Mass Communications. Matteson will be helping with the UNLimited Sports Lab on Monday mornings, providing professional insight and advice with the class.

Matteson came to Nebraska directly after college in Missouri. KOLN-TV (10/11 News) was and is his first full-time job in the journalism world. At 10/11 News, he serves as a sports reporter and anchor covering all UNL sports teams, as well as the local high school sports scene. During his time at the station, the team has won numerous awards from the Nebraska Broadcasters Association, including most recently "TV Station of the Year."

Before he joined the team at 10/11 News, he worked part-time for over 3 years at KOMU 8 in Columbia, Missouri. KOMU 8 is the NBC Affiliate station for mid-Missouri. At KOMU 8, he worked primarily as a sports reporter and anchor; however, he spent 2 semesters in college serving as a general news reporter and photographer.

While in school, he had the opportunity to serve as the host and editor for the "Tiger Kickoff Show" - a football talk show covering Missouri Football. He helped the show transform into a bigger production that is continued on today. The show is filmed inside Missouri's J-School and has been featured and spotlighted by the Columbia Missourian as well as the University of Missouri.
