Scott moved to Columbia from Naperville, IL, in 2000 to help start The Crossing. Before that, Scott worked for an ABC affiliate in Grand Rapids, MI, and for Anderson Telemedia. He earned his Bachelor of Arts in Communication Arts and Sciences from Calvin College in 1998.

As one of the Worship Directors, Scott enjoys working with a skilled team of musicians week after week.
