Matt Goebel graduated with undergraduate degrees in physics and religion and began working at a church of nearly 3,500 attendees. Over the years he held a variety of roles within the church as a Children’s Pastor, Teaching Pastor and more while he worked to complete his Master’s in Theology.
Matt met his wife Ann at that church and they had a set of boy/girl twins. Matt then moved to the local YMCA, taking the position as their first chaplain. There, Matt and Ann had another child and he began to pursue coaching as a profession, becoming a Gallup Certified Coach.
Based on his years of experience as a pastor and a chaplain, Matt built Veritas Professional Development to help business leaders guide and create cultures that foster excellence in soft skills development and management.
