Scott was born and raised in Montgomery, Alabama. He was raised in a Christian home, but did not dedicate his life to Christ until the age of 27. Shortly after his conversion, Scott left his job as a truck driver to attend the Mission College of Evangelism. It was here that he developed his passion of getting all members of the church to be on fire and involved in doing evangelistic ministry inside and outside of the church. Scott joined the ARISE team two years ago, and now functions as the Director of ARISE. As the Director, Scott teaches several classes at ARISE and is the Pastor of Discovery Bible Fellowship Sterling Heights SDA Church (www.sterlingheightschurch.com), which was started out of ARISE's evangelistic meeting in 2006. Scott and his wife Melanie have five children, Danny (14), Daniel (10), Jason (10), Brandon (8), Samantha (4). On the rare occasion when Scott is not out fishing for men, he can be found in hip waders fishing for fish.
