He’s a graduate of Texas A&M’s business school (‘88) and of Southwestern Theological Seminary in Ft. Worth.

Along the way, Scot has also been a high school basketball coach and referee and loves sports. He and his wife of 32 years, Ashley, have four kids (two in ministry, one in college, and one at A&M Consolidated High School). When not watching his son play basketball, he enjoys spoiling his new granddaughter, long walks with his wife (and dog, Maverick), family trips to the beach, going to Aggie games, spending time with people over a good meal, solving problems, and dreaming about new ministry ideas.

She believes that worship is a gift from God that brings us closer to Him, expressing our love for Him through the things we hold dear.
