My wife Krista and I came to Spring Valley in January 2000, right after I graduated from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in December 1999.  We have four children - Karynna, Josiah, Micah, and Annika.




Get to know Pastor Scott:

State Where You Were Born:  I was born and raised in NW Iowa.  During most of my growing up years, we lived in the country outside of Boyden, IA.

Favorite Hobbies: I love to play most any sport - my favorites are racquetball, softball, and basketball.  I enjoy watching movies - especially sports movies.  Some of my favorites include - Cinderella Man, Facing the Giants, Glory Road, Invincible, Miracle, Remember the Titans, and Rudy.  I also like to read - both fiction and non-fiction books.

Special Interests:  It's been said that I have a slight obsession with Duke Basketball - men's & women's.  I'm also known to be a big promoter of Dr. Pepper.  Anyone who hears me speak will notice that I like to find ways to slip them in as illustrations.

Favorite Food:  Although I'm known as a selective eater, my favorite food would have to be pizza, though I stay away from those specialty pizzas and stick with pepperoni or sausage.  I'm also a big fan of any restaurant that serves Dr. Pepper.

Favorite Music:  I like Chris Tomlin, Aaron Shust, Casting Crowns, David Crowder, Lincoln Brewster,  Newsboys, and Steven Curtis Chapman (the very first Contemporary Christian artist I began to listen to way back in college).  I also enjoy listening to Saving Grace (my wife's group) sing!

Favorite Bible Verse:  Romans 5:8 - "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."  (NIV)
