Matt has been a member of LUMC since 1996. He was born and raised in the corn fields of Central Illinois, but has lived in North Carolina for 20 years and will never live anywhere else! Matt is a huge fan of the St. Louis Cardinals, Green Bay Packers, and the Wake Forest Demon Deacons. He and his wife, Christy, have been married for 16 years and have two children, Macey and Brett. Matt is working with the Youth Group for the second year, and is blessed to spend time with a great group of middle-schoolers! This calling is a humbling experience for him, knowing the challenges that youth will face as they journey through middle and high school.
