Matt was born and raised in Danbury, CT. The Lord graciously granted him salvation at a young age. He graduated from Western Connecticut State university with a business degree. Although he grew up active in the local church, Matt did not flourish in his faith until he was exposed to proper expository preaching. It was after this that his desire for God’s glory, personal holiness, the church and preaching grew. He later received the call to ministry. Moving out to sunny California, Matt graduated with an MDIV from The Master’s Seminary in 2021. He had the privilege of working on the pastoral staff at Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, CA from 2018 until he accepted the position as Pastor of Biblical Counseling at Redeemer Bible Church in Gilbert, AZ in 2023. Aside from preaching and teaching, Matt has a heart for shepherding God’s people through counseling and discipleship. He is married to his beloved wife Lulu with whom he shares the love of food, coffee, travel, nature, being active and reading.
