Matt is grateful to have grown up in a Christian family and to have believed, by God’s grace, at a young age. Looking back at his younger years, he is especially grateful for how God graciously causes His saints to persevere.

Matt and his wife Erin were born and raised in the same small town in Maine and had some interaction as children, but after living in distant corners of the country for several years, God providentially returned them both to Maine in 2009 and were reacquainted shortly thereafter. They were married in 2010 and were blessed with their son, Henry, in 2012 and their daughter, Elsy, in 2014.

Matt and his family began attending WCF in the spring of 2018 and immediately felt at home with the church family here. They became members in August of that same year, and Matt began elder training the following summer and was affirmed as an elder in January of 2021.

Matt, for some mysterious reason, enjoys endurance activities such as running and cycling. If time and the seasons allow, he’s very happy to find himself located on a golf course or ski slope as well. When it’s all said and done, however, he’s not opposed to sitting down with a good book and a cup of coffee.
