After Scott was converted to Christ at the age of 19, he received a B.A. in Religious Studies from Oregon State University. His education still left him with doubts regarding the inconsistencies between evolution, science, world history, and a straight-forward reading of the Bible.
Years later, a friend who was a paleontologist demonstrated to him how scientific evidence actually makes more sense when interpreted within the clear context of the Bible's account of history. This, along with Creation magazine, ignited a blaze in Scott to seek answers to the nagging doubts that plagued him. Once he realized that science and the Bible were not at odds with each other, he experienced a sustained joy, a renewed commitment to the Word of God, as well as a bold desire to share this life-changing message with others.
Scott now uses this conviction to impact our culture with easy-to-understand presentations that uphold the authority of God's Word. Scott also desires to challenge others to equip themselves to be ready with answers (1 Peter 3:15) to impact their world. so they too can impact their world for Christ.
Before becoming a speaker for CMI, Scott was a top executive for a large multi-million dollar construction firm. Scott has served in ministry for over 25 years as a youth pastor, teacher, speaker, and key leader in a church plant, as well as Vice President of the Creation Society of Sonoma County. Scott was CMI’s West Coast speaker and representative, located in northern California with his wife Lisa, and their 4 children. In October, they moved to Atlanta so Scott could work full-time with CMI–US.
