About

Hey, I’m Matt. I’m a pastor, married to Kalena, and a father of two. I spend my days serving at church, building stuff on the web, and trying to keep up with my kids.

What I Do

I pastor a church, which means I get to walk with people through all kinds of life stuff. It’s messy and beautiful and I love it. When I’m not doing that, I’m usually tinkering with websites, writing, or figuring out how to make things work better.

I’ve built a few themes for Micro.blog (Tiny Theme, Sumo, Bayou, Mythos) because I like making things that help other people publish their writing online.

What I Write About

I write about whatever’s on my mind, usually stuff related to:

• Productivity and workflows that actually work
• Technology and tools I use
• Web design and development
• Thoughts on ministry and life
• Being a dad and husband

No grand themes or content strategies. Just thinking out loud about things I’m working on or learning.

Colophon

This site is built with Jekyll and hosted on Netlify. The design is a custom theme modeled after the work of Steph Ango, including his Flexoki color scheme. Typography uses system fonts for optimal performance and native feel across devices.

Social crossposting is handled by Echofeed. Analytics run through Tinylytics for privacy-focused visitor tracking.

The newsletter uses EmailOctopus for delivery. Code is written in BBEdit and managed through GitHub.
