Meet Matt

My Christian faith is at the center of who I am and guides how I live, work, and serve others. As a husband and father of four boys, ages 11 to 18, family is everything to me. Our home is full of energy, laughter, and the daily challenges that come with raising young men. My wife and I strive to instill in them the same values that shape our lives—faith in God, personal responsibility, hard work, and compassion for others. I believe strong families are the foundation of strong communities, and that belief influences everything I do.

I earned my degree in Economics and later an MBA, which have been invaluable throughout my career in finance, business intelligence, and technology. I’ve had the opportunity to manage projects, analyze data, and lead teams to solve complex problems and deliver real results. Most recently, I’ve served as a software team lead, where I’ve learned the importance of collaboration, innovation, and accountability. My professional journey has taught me how to bring people together, think strategically, and make data-informed decisions that move organizations forward—all skills I believe are critical in public service.

As I run for Sumner County Commission, my goal is to bring competence, balance, and common sense to local government. I want to see our county invest wisely in schools, infrastructure, and responsible growth while maintaining transparency and fiscal discipline. I’ve seen firsthand how local collaboration can make a real difference—when I served on the Riverton, Utah Volunteer Economic Development Committee, I worked alongside the mayor to help attract new businesses and strengthen the local economy. That experience showed me the power of teamwork and vision in building a better community, and it’s exactly the kind of approach I want to bring to Sumner County.
