Matt is the lead pastor at Reunion and a born-and-raised Bostonian who never quite stopped being one, even during eleven years in Austin(UT, and then some) and three years in LA for seminary (M.Div., Talbot School of Theology). Eventually the pull back home won.

Before he was on staff, he was a guy in the back row, hurting from a broken relationship and not sure God could be trusted. Reunion became a place where he could ask hard questions and slowly heal. That experience still shapes how he thinks about this community and the people who walk through the door.

He and his wife Jean welcomed their son, Tobias, this summer. They still love having people around their table, though game nights have been replaced by 3 a.m. feedings for now. He loves the Celtics and Costco, which has taken on new significance in the diaper era. He serves as clerk on the Board of Directors for Community Cooks.
