Area(s) of Interest or Expertise:

I'm excited to be serving on the Board of Directors for CCAS. :) In 2001, I founded FrontGate Media which has become the #1 pop-culture media group in the Christian market. Among other things, FrontGate is the #1 place to reach Worship Leaders and Church Musicians. FrontGate Media connects organizations to every demographic of Christian via our 15 million subscribers, 25 million monthly page views, 600,000 attendees at our events and in 45 million television households. We also provide Public Relations and Social Media services. I am a founding partner at the design/manufacturing firm Extra Mile Merch; My Broken Palace providing hope and healing to the 15-25 age group; and Splatter, an ecommerce and fulfillment service. In 1997 I brought Gofishnet.com, one of the first Christian music web sites, to market which was later purchased by Crosswalk.com. Previous experience includes sales, marketing and distribution with Frontline Music Group, and as a Music Buyer for Berean Christian Stores. I am excited to currently serve on Advisory Boards for the Biola Media Conference, Christian Comic Arts Society, and Grove Center for the Arts. I am active with the The Barnabas Group, Evangelical Christian Publishers Associationand Visual Story Network.

My Testimony: (We encourage members to share briefly about how their faith in Christ has impacted their lives.)

Came to know God in high school because Jesus thought a lot like me... ;) Am working to own His love for me.

Dream Job: (If you could have your dream job in the comics industry, what would it be?)

I have it: helping comics people and companies connect together and to the consumer audience they are trying to reach. :)

Favorite Comic Creators:

Anyone who is a Christian creating any kind of comics...

Hi Scott,

Thanks for the message. I hope to get to know you better, and perhaps help you out with something in the future. My input for the christian comic society is to collaborate on a project with any interested individuals. We obviously have a lot of talent, and various connections with people in the industry. I'm sure we could produce some very high quality ministry materials with comic illustration, graphic design, story, and folks to handle the business side. I would also like to have a place to instant message with an individual or group of individuals on the site. Networking is key, and good communication methods would more easily facilitate this.

I'd like to encourage you as you start - I know its tough to balance work, family, and personal interests. Don't be afraid to tap into us!

Thanks,

Matthew

Scott!!! How are things? Yes, it's good to 'see' you again. :-) Thanks for seeking me out. I hope you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving. My wife and I did. I'm not sure what exactly I want to be involved in. What are some of my options? I'm just glad to be a part of a community that loves Jesus and comics. I'm currently working on a novel that has some superhero elements and will have illustrations.
Talk with you soon!

Hey Scott,
thanks for the letter and the quote from C.S. Lewis. It was from Desiring God by John Piper that I read this quote. That's cool man. Yeah, looking forward to getting more familiar with you.

Hi Scott! Great to see you here! Welcome to CCAS!
Love your C.S. Lewis quote. I believe I read it in John Piper's Desiring God and it really left an impression.
