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...

My idea was simple, based on what you do, can our new way to advertsie be of help to any small business you know or come in contact with?

It's new and started top expand pretty quick as a new platform for the "little guy" business to attract new customers, via technology and the Internet, t their front doors. Plus do it cheaper and have a fixed cost each month so as to better plan their advertising budget.

I am into helping people in my business now. This one and another that helps kids do better via a game.

I have figured a way for the small busines owner to save even more on their advertising with a little more investment that they can recoup pretty quickly and may even reduce their advertising cost to nothing for the year.

I only ask that you review http://dasvar.localadlink.net to see what I'm talking about in general. But you won't find the extra savings method there that I just started to implement. Let me know if you know someone that good benefit from this and maybe even the business itself. Thanks...

Yeah. If it weren't for the GMA thing, I would maybe be in a better position. Not sure if I can swing 3 events in 7 days!

I'll drop you some more detailed in the very near future about the project I'm working on.

Thanks!

Hey Scott,

I'd love to make the Biola conference. I'll probably be at GMA earlier that week and possibly heading straight to Vegas for NAB and for some meetings with folks which whom we're looking to produce shows.

One thing I'd like to ask about is finding potential writers to collaborate with on a fiction novel that I can see turning into a graphic novel. I've written roughly 1/2 of a 75,000+ word book and I'm thinking about getting another published author to help me finish it (or I'll just buckle down and get it done myself).

Hey, man - I posted a new (and updated) blog entry to replace the missing one ...
Chris Well January 23, 2009 at 6:25pm

Hi, Scott - I made a small edit to my blog entry and, for some reason, that also made the comment disappear and bumped me off the main page ...

Thanks so much for the kind words Sir! I really appreciate the warm welcome. I didn't know that there was a site like this so I'm crazy excited to be a part of this.

I already posted some of my art from last year so feel free to take a look at it when you have the time. I'll be sure to post some blog posts as well and more pictures!
