Matt joined the St. Mark team in the summer of 2024. Prior to joining our team, he worked for the Dubuque Community Schools for 15 years in various roles as a paraprofessional.
He and his partner Savanna welcomed a child in September 2023.
Outside of work, Matt's house is very busy. He loves his new role as a dad. He and Savanna also have two dogs: one almost nine-year-old Golden named Charlie, and a one-year-old Goldendoodle named Ginger. He also has many nieces and nephews that he loves spending time with.
Matt has lived in Dubuque since high school but was born and raised in the St. Louis area. He's a diehard Cardinals and Rams fan. Matt enjoys cooking, weightlifting, being active, gaming, and traveling.
