Scott spent his youth exploring the outdoors on Blue Mountain Ranch, owned and operated by his parents. He learned hard work side by side with his parents and siblings to maintain the land, including breaking the horses.
He loved anything in nature, outdoors, camping, hunting, hiking, off-roading, and impromptu trips with his children and grandchildren.
Scott's first job was at the San Juan Record. Later, he started out as pressman in the newspaper industry. He worked diligently, excelling at whatever job he was promoted to.
This required moving to different locations to gain experience. He was always moving up the ladder and became the Production Director at The Spectrum in St. George, UT.
The next 14 years were spent as Senior Vice President of Operations for Utah Media Group in Salt Lake City, UT, where he retired from a long 53 year career. 
Scott loved his country.
His greatest joy in life was his wife, children, grandchildren, and the many, many random acts of kindness and service he constantly provided.
