Whether it is as a Camp River’s Bend counselor, singing with the Gsus Band at his church, or as a loving uncle to his six nieces and nephews, Matthew believes that service to others is of utmost importance in bringing our community together. Art can heal and bring us together, and  R.Evolucion Latina provides that opportunity to serve others and MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
