Matt - Lead Guitar
I am a redeemed follower of Jesus Christ, saved by grace and transformed through His forgiveness. My story is one of restoration. Proof that no past is beyond God’s reach. Once lost, I am now forgiven and made new through Jesus, my Savior. Born and raised in Wausau, Wisconsin, I am a member of Hillside Church in Merrill, WI, where my faith continues to grow in community and truth. Music and creativity play a central role in my walk with God, and I express that most deeply through playing guitar using sound, art, and creativity aspects of worship. Art of Grace was created as an outpouring of that journey. Every piece reflects redemption, hope, and the beauty that comes from surrendering my brokenness to God. My work is rooted in faith and shaped by grace, created not to glorify myself, but to honor the One who changed my life. This space exists for those who believe in second chances, new beginnings, and the power of God’s grace to transform any story...including mine.

My faith journey started at a really low point in my life. There was a time when I spent most nights at the bars, drinking way too much, and feeling completely lost. I got to a place where I didn’t even want to live anymore. During that season, I had a deep conversation with my mom, and I still remember her words clearly: “Come home.” That’s exactly what I did. I started making better choices, and not long after, a longtime friend invited me to church. After a while, they asked if I wanted to sing in the choir and I said yes. That small step ended up changing everything. I surrounded myself with church, good friends, and faith, got baptized, and began rebuilding my life. For my early years of faith, I often focused on what God could do for me. Over time, that has shifted, and now my faith is centered on what I can do for God—living intentionally, serving others, and reaching the lost wherever I can. This change has brought depth, purpose, and a new passion to my life. Being part of Art of Grace lets me combine music and testimony in a way that reminds me where I came from and who brought me through it. My hope is that through music, service, and honesty, others might find their way back home too.

I grew up in a chaotic and broken home where I was exposed at a very young age to addiction, violence, and abuse. From bars and drug use to witnessing unhealthy relationships, instability became normal to me early on. When I was removed from that environment and placed into a strict household, I struggled deeply with authority and rejection. Feeling like the problem child and believing I was unloved, I began running away as a teenager and eventually turned to drugs to cope with the pain and anger I carried. As I grew older, my addiction intensified and my life became increasingly destructive. I rejected God, immersed myself in darkness, and pursued things that only deepened my bondage. Toxic relationships, betrayal, and substance abuse consumed my life until everything finally collapsed in 2021. Jail time, severe withdrawal, and the loss of my children to social services brought me to a breaking point and exposed how far I had fallen. While living with my grandparents, completely broken and without hope, I cried out to a God I didn’t even believe in and asked Him to heal me. Through a powerful and undeniable encounter, God revealed His reality to me in a way I could not explain away. In that moment, I experienced both physical healing and a spiritual awakening that forever changed the direction of my life. From that day forward, I surrendered my life to Jesus Christ. My desires, my heart, and my identity began to change in ways I never thought possible. I am still a work in progress, but I am no longer bound by who I once was. By God’s grace, I have been set free, and my life now stands as a testimony to His mercy, redemption, and transforming power.
