Like many in St. Pete Beach, Scott and his family's lives were upended by the devastating storms of 2024. What he saw in the aftermath was a city government unprepared to help residents and businesses recover — a permitting system that slowed rebuilding, unmaintained infrastructure that failed when it was needed most, and leadership priorities not focused on recovery and resiliency.

A husband, father, project management professional, and longtime Tampa Bay resident, Scott wants to make sure our community can rebuild and thrive again. He's bringing decades of project management experience to realign city priorities and improve the city's resiliency while helping every family and business fully recover.

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.
