Matt Kuss

As previously announced, the Director of Finance & Administration, effective January 1, 2023, is Matt Kuss. Click here to read more about the transition and Randy Bowman’s new role. We’re eager for you to meet Matt, so here’s a little about him.

“Since his first day on the job, Matt fit in seamlessly with the Conference staff. He is hard-working, dedicated to serving our DSC community, and a genuinely kind person. While I will miss Randy tremendously when he retires from the Conference and am grateful for his time serving as the Assistant Treasurer, until then, I feel confident that Matt is the right person to fill the role of Conference Treasurer & Director of Administrative Services of the Desert Southwest Conference.”

Dina Reid, Pension & Health Benefits Officer

Matt has been in the new role for a month but has worked with Randy in the Desert Southwest Conference Finance department beginning in 2021 and for two years before that in his role at the Interfaith Federal Credit Union branch in the Conference center building. Matt also worked as co-owner of his family’s apparel company for ten years.

“I have worked with Matt over the past year and a half, and I can honestly say it has been a real pleasure. Matt is very down-to-earth, willing to do whatever needs to be done, and eager to serve. I think the laity and clergy, through the Conference, will quickly learn to trust Matt as a person who always has their best interest at heart.  Welcome Matt!”

Randy Bowman, Assistant Treasurer (Former Director of Finance & Administration)

Matt is originally from Springfield, Ohio, and has lived in Phoenix for over 20 years. He studied small business management at Northern Arizona University and received a master’s degree from the University Of Phoenix. He celebrates his 15th wedding anniversary with his wife, Angie, in April, and they have two children, Oliver, age 13, and Finley, age 11. They also have a Cavalier King Charles named Woody.  

In his spare time, Matt enjoys watching his son play basketball and tennis and watching his daughter play volleyball. One of their favorite sports teams to watch is the Ohio State Buckeyes.
