Scott is a graduate of the University of Illinois with a degree in Civil Engineering and worked 14 years in project management before changing careers.

Scott actively participates with the local Big Brothers Big Sisters chapter and Rock Steady Boxing, which teaches boxing to individuals with Parkinson’s Disease.
