He’s also a pastor’s kid, and has inherited a deep love for the church from his family.

After founding Seek First Financial in 2010 (a faith based financial & tax firm that’s helped hundreds of Christians), Scott created Seek First Foundation, a nonprofit ministry (funded by Seek First Financial).
