Meet Matthew Kurtz

eCatholic Evangelist

Matthew operates his eCatholic office from Bismarck, ND, where he has lived his entire life. He graduated summa cum laude from North Dakota State University (home of the Bison!) in 2011 with a degree in communications and an emphasis in television broadcasting.He has worked as interim sports director at a local television station, as an audio/video editor for a private advertising agency, and most recently as Director of Communications for the Diocese of Bismarck, where he also served as editor of the diocesan newspaper.

While in this role, he inherited an outdated, expensive, and frustrating diocesan website. Fortunately, he found eCatholic, which helped him launch a new site…and the rest is history. The diocese’s eCatholic website became the launching pad for all of its successful digital media endeavors, and Matthew is poised to help more Catholic organizations do the same.

Matthew is a passionate videographer and writer who seeks to inspire others and evangelize with his work. In his spare time, he enjoys praying, running (he has one full marathon and one half marathon under his belt), and watching the Minnesota Vikings. He married his beautiful wife, Stephanie, in 2012, and the couple has been blessed with two children: Elijah, born in February 2013 and Lucy, born in August 2014.
