about matt
Matt, a native Californian (SoCal), fell in love with college ministry through his time studying Business at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo (with minors in ultimate frisbee, disc golf, and the beach!). His experience in the church, campus ministries, and mentors transformed his faith and walk with Jesus. After he graduated, Matt worked in college ministry at his church for two years before heading to St. Louis, MO, to attend Covenant Theological Seminary (2009-2012).
Matt made great friends, had more great mentors, and was further amazed by the grace and love of Jesus through his studies at Covenant and there met the love of his life, Sarah, who was studying counseling. Matt and Sarah got married in 2014 and served together in college and young adult ministry at Chesterfield Presbyterian Church (St. Louis, MO) for five years before moving to California to serve in family ministry at Valley Springs Presbyterian Church (Roseville, CA).
They are very excited to know, host, and serve students at the University of Arizona. Matt & Sarah love coffee, being outside, watching sports, laughing with friends, and having all sorts of fun with their three girls, Nora, Juniper, and Evangeline, (and their Golden Retriever, Poppy!).
