Like iron sharpens iron, Advanced Business Roundtable (formerly Fellowship Networking, Inc.) is a business mastermind networking group geared for Christian business owners to come together and significantly increase their business skills and ability to share their business with others. The meetings are also designed to provide warm leads to each other and to act as an extended marketing department for each business owner in the chapter. There are numerous benefits for business owners who join the networking groups including alternating weeks of Business Member Spotlights (highlighting a business member in a 20-minute presentation with Q&A and feedback and ideas on how to grow the business) and Business Topics that teach a skillset, tip, or technique to business owners. The roundtable aspect is a confidential process that helps personal growth and helps bond the relationships in the room as members give weekly updates on what's going well, not so well, and what goals they have during the next week.This organization has morphed over time but it started with Scott as a 50% shareholder an umbrella corporation (Fellowship Networking, Inc.) and he managed CIO functions as well as CEO functions. He gave his shares to his business partner for a while as the partner converted the organization into a nonprofit, merging with the Fellowship Chamber organization. His partner later divested the networking groups and Scott took it back under his own LLC and renamed it to ABR.

Scott is known in the community as being highly approachable, very engaged and responsive, heavily involved as a volunteer in many aspects throughout the city, small business coaching/training, nonprofits, and neighborhoods (RCONA). He enjoys economic development projects and supporting small business growth.
