Poorman’s 15 Minutes of Fame: Matt Mauser (Matt Mauser Big Band, Tijuana Dogs)
“[On writing a memoir honoring his wife, Christina] It was very cathartic, and I got it all out. And I was able to tell our story. And, you know, she was a wonderful, wonderful, beautiful human being. So I wanna make sure people know that she was, just, you know, a great lady. And we have a foundation that we set up in her honor. It’s called the Christina Mauser Foundation, and we give scholarships to young women going into playing sports in college, that, you know, aren’t getting scholarships. So we give them scholarships based on their character and what they’re like with their teammates and just, you know, how hard they work and kind of embody what Christina stood for.”
