Matt’s journey has been shaped by faith, family, and the game of baseball.

Faith is at the center of Matt’s life. He and his wife have been married for 17 years and have four children (ages 14, 11, 11, and 9) who love Cambridge Christian School. Their family is rooted in their church community at Grace Family Church, where Matt’s father-in-law is the founding pastor. The LaPortas are passionate about serving the community, investing in youth, and supporting Christian education. When time allows, Matt enjoys making memories with his family on the golf course, ski slopes, and in the mountains—one of many reasons they feel blessed to be part of the CCS community.
