Scott Lange

Born in Hamilton, Ohio, I was raised in Hartford, Connecticut. I went to Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania where I was a political science major, joined a fraternity and played Irish folk music with friends.

My first job was in college admissions, and soon after was promoted into a fundraising position, which led among other things, to starting the grateful patient philanthropy program at The Cleveland Clinic. As a consultant, I helped create the first public/private partnership in healthcare with the successful campaign for the New Parkland Hospital in Dallas, TX.

Raised in the Unitarian/Universalist tradition, my conversion to Christianity occurred at St. Martins Episcopal Church in Chagrin Falls, Ohio as an adult. That led to two terms on Vestry: a capital campaign, installing a pipe organ, and serving as Finance Chair.

In 2018 while living in Chicago, I formed Visionary Philanthropic Consulting and moved to Naples Florida during the COVID pandemic in July 2020.  I have two grown sons, both married with children. I love to visit them, and ski, and sail, bicycle, cook, and exercise.

I am honored, humbled and delighted to serve as Father Joe’s Senior Warden. Our mission is to carry Christ’s true message into the world and enable others to have a deep, personal relationship with Him.  Our St. John’s Family embraces Christ’s love and grace. For that, I am ever thankful.
