Matt is a Las Vegas native. He and his wife Erin were married in January of 2005 and are graduates of the University of Nevada, Reno where Matt led worship for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship for over 3 years. Prior to being called to Life, Matt was a part of the worship ministry as well as the Veritas college ministry at Hope Baptist Church.
Over the years Matt has learned that worship is much more than singing in weekend services. Worship is about pursuing relentlessly the very thing God created His children to be. It is his passion to see a body of believers who worship God with their entire lives…and get to sing about it on Sunday.
