Next Steps Director
Matt grew up in Manhattan Beach and graduated from UC Santa Barbara. After being radically transformed by Jesus in college, he decided that his life goal was to one day become a great husband and father, so he set off on a journey to prepare for those things at 19 years old. Less than two years later, he was engaged and got married in 2001 to his amazing wife, Jessica. Their ventures together landed them in Hawaii for 12 years where they had their two girls, Chloe and Reese. He has served with CRU in Southern California, 3 years as an executive pastor in Hawaii, and nearly two decades providing financial services to small business owners. He loves football, golf, serving the Lord as a team with his wife, Saturday morning dates with his girls, and using his gifts and experience to make of difference wherever he goes
