Trivium's Matt Heafy has a new gig as a member of Stack Up’s board of directors.

Announced today, the musician/Twitch streamer will be joining the military charity, which aids U.S. and Allied Veterans’ mental health through gaming. As a member of the board of directors, Heafy will help the charity’s initiatives, which includes Supply Crate video game care packages to recuperating military members and active duty personnel.

Heafy said this about being part of Stack Up’s team:

“I was born in Iwakuni, Japan, in a Marine Corps military base hospital. My father is a Marine and my mother is from Hiroshima, Japan. My dad’s side of the family has multi-generations long lineages in all services and branches of the military. Thanks to my father’s service in the USMC, I exist.
Stack Up’s emphasis on wanting to help people’s mental well-being, while creating a place in which fellow active service and veteran military - US and allied - can come together and celebrate what connects them, is a mission that resounded with me at my core.”

Stack Up CEO/founder Stephen Machuga said this:

“It is literally a dream come true. I have had Trivium songs on my workout mix since I was in the Army, and now the lead singer is sending me multiple emails a day before I’m even out of bed asking how he can help us out? It’s bananas; the potential feels endless right now.”
