For Matt, Time of Grace is a compelling intersection of sharing the gospel, leadership, leveraging technology, and relationship development. His responsibilities as the president and CEO include ensuring the ministry stays true to its vision/mission, overseeing the business aspects of the ministry, shaping the strategic direction, and creating a culture in the organization that makes it the “best job ever” for every employee. As a child Matt lived in five different states. After graduating from Texas A&M, Matt moved to Milwaukee, where God drew him to attend and become baptized into the faith at Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church. Matt worked previously in industrial sales, leadership roles in the aerospace industry, and as a small business owner focused on LED lighting new product development. He was active in congregational service, serving in different leadership roles and served on the board of Wisconsin Lutheran College. Matt and his wife, MJ, have been blessed with five daughters of resplendent beauty and boundless energy: Hannah, Emma, Clara, Claudia, and Liza. Together the family enjoys school, sports, swimming, and training their faithful dog, Mars.
