Scott and Kristi live to see others walk in the full potential of who

they are created to be! They are passionate pursuers of Christ

and loves people unconditionally. Scott and Kristi have been

married as well as best friends for over 33 years. They have five

children and seven grandchildren. As pastors and health

coaches, they have inspired thousands to live their BEST life and

walk in full health: spirit, soul and body!

In 2020, after nearly 30 years in ministry; Scott suffered a sudden

death cardiac arrest and due to loss of oxygen and a pulse for 22

minutes he had a severe anoxic brain injury. Their lives took a

hard left turn. Scott lost everything, extreme memory loss, as well

as many other neurological deficiencies. Scott is a FIGHTER and

he has valiantly pursued health and WHOLENESS on this

journey. He has relearned basic things like walking, talking and

everyday tasks. He continues to progress in recapturing his

memories and his cognitive abilities.

With Kristi by his side each step of the way, they have overcome

the odds and now dedicate themselves to inspiring others to

never give up – even when you don’t know if you have it in you. In

their best selling book, Punch Back, they inspire others through

their story of faith & strength. “If you are still breathing, God has a

purpose for you” Scott encourages. The journey has been difficult

and wearisome at times, but Kristi is quick to say “Suffering is a

privilege. We will use our fight to strengthen others during theirs.”
