Meet the seminarians:
Scott Fassett was born in Houston, Texas. At the age of seven, his family moved to Alexandria, Minnesota where he spent the remainder of his youth. He attended Jefferson High School spending most of his time in the band room (percussionist), and was spiritually nurtured at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church (LCMS) through the end of his high-school years. Upon graduating, Scott received a percussion scholarship to Bethany Lutheran College, where he majored in Business Administration (Finance) and a minor in Communication. During his time at BLC (2010-14) he directed the B-Town Drumline, participated in Theater Physics, created an award winning tv segment for the hockey broadcast, attended Peace Lutheran Church (North Mankato), and most importantly, met and married his wife Katy Fassett in 2015 (daughter of Rev. Daniel and Julie Faugstad ). After graduating, Scott worked as a Financial Advisor for Thrivent Financial in Mankato and Alexandria for 9 years before moving back to Mankato to enroll in the seminary. Scott and Katy are blessed with five children: Otto 9, Ole 7, Nels 5, and Irvin 3, and our first girl, Louann! In his free-time, Scott loves spending as much time as possible outside, biking, watching football, and playing with his boys.
