Based in Washington State and serving the greater Seattle area, his work focuses on helping churches, nonprofit organizations, and individuals use technology in ways that are practical, accessible, and people-centered.

Since founding DesaDigit in 2020, Matthew has worked at the intersection of theology, education, and technology—supporting mission-driven organizations and those navigating life transitions.
