Matt was born in McMinnville, OR, and lived there until relocating to Bend, OR, in 1997 after being married to his incredible wife Frankie for just under a year. Eventually they moved back to the Willamette Valley to be closer to extended family. They began attending Calvary Corvallis during the summer of 2007 after hearing about the powerful work that God was doing there. Matt came on staff at Calvary Corvallis in May 2011. Currently, he has the privilege of overseeing an amazing Property Care team, a Marriage Mentor team, and also the Men's Ministry at Calvary. These days, with both of their kids grown and moved out, Matt and Frankie enjoy exploring new places and adventures and enjoying the blessings of marriage, family and ministry.
