Matthew grew up just down the road in Lynchburg where he came to faith as a child at Rivermont EPC. He and his wife, Kelsey, met in college at Virginia Tech and were married the summer after Kelsey’s graduation. They have three dear boys: Ridley, Leyton, and Lenny. They first came to CTK in 2015 when Matthew began working at the church as the Youth Director. After a few years in youth ministry, he began his career in marketing and advertising and currently works for a small ad agency in Roanoke. At CTK, he loves to sing, occasionally teach Sunday School, help at VBS, and encourage our missionaries. If you want to see him annoyed at himself, find a time to play basketball, volleyball, ping pong, or Pickleball with him.
