Matt joined the team in 2020, having moved across from Western Australia. He draws on a wide range of qualifications and experiences, having spent 12 years working as a Biomedical Engineer in commercial and hospital environments, a couple of years in retail, and about 9 years in pastoral church leadership.
Matt married Esther 19 years ago. And now with four children in tow, Matt and Esther share a passion for pastoral care, and have spent many, many hours between them, caring for and doing life with people of all ages, nationalities and faiths.
Most recently, Matt pastored a growing church in rural Western Australia, where he worked intensively for the healthy integration of the different cultures that called that church their home.
Here at Morling Residential College, Matt sees this place as a remarkable environment in which all kinds of growth and transformation occurs in the residents. He feels excited and privileged to have the opportunity to form warm and caring relationships with residents as they encounter the challenges and opportunities of tertiary education.
Matt is a passionate musician, he loves to cook, roast coffee, run the espresso machine, build things with his tools, reading, writing, and hanging out with friends.
