Matthew is the fifth child in a family of eight and spent most of his childhood in Stillwater Oklahoma. However, he now lives in a small town called Potlatch located in the bitter root mountains of northern Idaho. Matthew enjoys a wide range of hobbies, including fishing and hunting for Idaho’s many game species, airsoft wars with friends, keeping all kinds of pet fish and reptiles, lots of ultimate frisbee, and cheering on the Green Bay Packers!
Matthew began his TeenPact story as a loud 13-year-old kid attending the 2019 Oklahoma II State Class. Although he grew up in a Christian home, he had never truly accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior until during the class a staffer shared the gospel with him. Since then, Matthew has been heavily involved with TeenPact by continuing to attend events as a student and then staffing for 3 years. Matthew is beyond thrilled to serve TeenPact on the Traveling Intern Team and can’t wait to see what the Lord is going to do over the next year!
