For Matthew, it all started at the age of nine when his grandfather gave him a broken computer. He spent all his savings to get it fixed. From that day on, he was determined to learn more about technology to prevent costly repairs.

At 16, Matthew and a business partner started his first company focused on computer programming. In 2006, Matthew started Stepping Forward Technology, which he’s grown for the past 18+ years.

Matthew started Stepping Forward because he’s passionate about technology. As he faced the challenges of growing his business, he found a new passion—being an entrepreneur and a servant leader to his team and clients. 

More than 30 years after building his first computer, Matthew is still learning about computer technologies, while cross-training his employees and meeting with business leaders to help them build and execute the best IT strategy.

Matthew lives in Colorado Springs with his wife, Jennifer, and their two beautiful kids.
