After North Catholic, Scott attended Lincoln Technical Institute. Scott would then go on to be a HVAC Technician for over 30 years. Outside of work, Scott devoted much of his time volunteering at Vogt C.A. where he coached and impacted the lives of many over 18 years.

Years later, he would be nominated by his peers and ultimately selected as the president of the organization where he would lead the recreational center for many years. Anyone involved at Vogt remembers Scott because of his beautiful personality and dedication to helping others around him.
