Born and raised in the Washington, DC area, Rev. Scot attended the University of Maryland in College Park, where he was so taken with “Life’s Big Questions” that he decided to pursue a Ph.D. in Philosophy. Life (and debt) had other plans.
Over the next 20 years, Rev. Scot became a public speaker and technology evangelist in the field of Internet security, where he created and developed start-up businesses, led cross-functional organizations in large and small companies, wrote a book (and a lot of articles), taught seminars, and coached sales professionals and IT executives on how to lead and succeed.
After a long period of discernment, Rev. Scot left this career to attend Meadville-Lombard Theological School to pursue lifelong interests in comparative religion, theology, and Buddhist philosophy — a return to those Big Questions — a quest he continues to pursue through his doctoral degree program at the United Seminary of the Twin Cities.
He was Ordained to the Ministry in February of 2020, and called to serve the congregation in Geneva, IL, in that same year. He has been in Full Fellowship with the Unitarian Universalist Association since 2023.
