About

Hey – Scott here. My official bio is below, but for a second let me talk first person with you.

I’m a 26 year old, very happily married man (to the wonderful Faye), and driven by a desire to see people be all they can be. I’m a Christian and a pastor at my church, The River Dream Centre, and I run Aaron+Gould which is a marketing and social media consultancy, and a conferencing and connecting organisation called Like Minds.

I believe that what we do in this life matters, and that making the most of our life by creating a legacy that helps the others around us will give us the most rewarding and enjoyable life we can lead.

Below is the third person bio with the pertient self promotion. If you want to say hi, then please do go ahead and do so on Twitter or Facebook, or catch up at one of the events that I’m speaking at.
