How a high-heel-wearing husband landed in the Montana movie.

If you saw the 3-D Hannah Montana movie, you'll no doubt remember this gut-busting scene.

Mom•Logic: How did you learn about the contest?

Matt: I had heard the Hannah Montana concert tour was beginning in St. Louis. Tickets to the concert were sold out minutes after they went on sale. My boss Jeff's 6-year-old daughter Emilee really wanted to go. His wife heard about a radio contest on Y-98 called the "High Heel Derby" and asked him to do it. Jeff asked the other employees if they'd also do it to try and win concert tickets and backstage passes, so I volunteered. I went to Goodwill and bought a pair of shoes with 2" heels.

Mom•Logic: After you won, what was your boss's reaction?

Matt: He was excited. In fact, he said I'd get a week off from work! Emilee wasn't there, but I went to her school and gave her the tickets in person in front of 30 classmates. She made me a bunch of cards thanking me. She was really excited!

Mom•Logic: Did you know you were going to be featured in the movie?

Matt: When I signed the releases, they said there was a possibility some of the footage would be in the movie. I figured it wouldn't happen. But the day the movie came out, a co-worker called and said I was actually featured in it. At that point, I asked everyone if they wanted my autograph!

Mom•Logic: Do you have any children?

Matt: I have been married for over a year, and my wife is five months pregnant. We've been together since eighth grade. We actually just found out last week we're having a girl!

Mom•Logic: Are you going to name your daughter Hannah or Miley?

Matt: We decided to name our daughter Kaitlyn Jade before we even got pregnant.

Mom•Logic: Having gone through extremes for your boss's daughter, what would you do for your own?

Matt: There is no end. I would run in high heels every day if I had to.
