About Me

"Created in the image of God, man was given limited, yet distinct, inherent powers. He was granted the power to imagine, as well as the faculty to define and then establish reality. And, operating within the boundaries preset by God, man does this, for better or worse, according to the free selection of his will. As we understand this, we see that the essence of spiritual warfare is in who shall define reality: the Word of God or the illusions of this present age." --Francis Frangipane

Scott is a bass player and sound guy. Six-stringed bass is his preferred bass. In fact it is the Ibanez SR506.

Current Projects:
Defining Reality is the name that Scott records all his solo stuff under. Currently writing material with John Ceraso (trumpet) doing a fusion thing and seeing what comes of it.
Scott has been in the studio playing with Aunamae. She is a singer/songwriter who loves to worship the Lord with heavier songs. A demo CD is in the works.

Lighthouse Music is the band from Scott's home church Lighthouse World Prayer Center. Scott is responsible for the Sound ministry and gets to play bass a few times a month on Sunday mornings.

Scott has also been helping out his friends Tim and Carl with their band Stone Puzzle.

Scott also helps out friends when they are in need of a bass player for various projects or they need help for a show. Contact Scott if you need to hire a bass player, or need a sound guy for your shows.

Look for demo clips of upcoming songs or for snippets from live shows.
