a church they helped plant as newly weds in 1995 and have pastored for 28 years since. Ron has a passion for the 
study and expositional teaching of the Word of God, which he has taught virtually from cover to cover during his

Scott has deep software development background with several early stage start-ups under his belt. His previous titles included his roles as Founder, Co-Founder, Chief Technical Officer, Principal Data Architect, and VP of Technology.

He came to faith through a 4-Spiritual Laws in 1978 and became a Watchman in 2016 after hearing about Bible Prophecy for the first time. He holds a BA from Michigan State and MBA from Indiana University.

Today, Scott works on "Advanced Gospel Initiatives" via highly technical strategies. He is the founder of I Am A Watchman, co-developer of the Rapture Kit resource, developer of the Rapture Kit on a Raspberry Pi, and spends most of his remaining time writing on iamawatchman.substack.com. In particular, his "Kitchen Table Series" is designed to provide critical thinking and perspective to watchmen and watchwomen all over the world.

Known for his grounded real world experience in technology, he has a unique perspective that seeks to both educate and edify the Body of Christ for such a time as this. Widely interviewed by pastors for his subject matter expertise on AI and other technical matters, he brings a unique viewpoint that many appreciate.
