Pastor, author, and longtime student of how people grow, lead, and remain faithful when life becomes difficult.

For more than twenty-five years, Scott has helped people navigate change, carry responsibility, and take their next faithful step. His writing draws from the places where character is actually formed: marriage and family, pastoral ministry, enduring friendships, uncertain decisions, and miles traveled through wild country.

Scott writes for people who want their lives to count. Through Rugged Wisdom, he offers field-tested truth about faith, leadership, relationships, and becoming the kind of person others can trust.

Scott makes his home in South Carolina with his wife, Amanda, who has shared the roads, trails, hardships, and joys that have shaped their life together. His days are filled with pastoring, writing, running before sunrise, coaching young athletes, and gathering men around fires. He believes life’s clearest lessons are often learned while moving through difficult terrain with people we trust.
