Born into a U.S. Air Force household, Scott grew up with a deep respect for service and integrity. After moving to Tampa Bay almost 40 years ago, he graduated from the University of South Florida with degrees in Engineering and Business Administration and went on to create a career helping engineering organizations solve complex challenges and deliver projects on time and on budget. Today, he serves on both the St. Pete Beach Police Pension Board and the Belle Vista Civic Association Board, working hands-on to improve his community.

When he's not leading projects or serving his neighbors, Scott enjoys spending time on the beach and playing music with friends. He and his wife, Lynette, are committed to helping create a better St Pete Beach for our community and future generations to come.
