It's tough to beat the Midwest, people are very friendly, honest and willing to help a stranger. You can't find that just anywhere." He also worked in the early '90s at KOBR in Roswell, MN as a Reporter/Anchor.
Scott was born in Portland, Oregon. He grew up in Oregon and Washington. He attended Washington State University and graduated with a degree in Broadcasting/Communications.

What Scott likes most about doing morning news is, "giving morning viewers a friendly, energetic face to wake up to."
In Scott's leisure time he plays golf…which he says, "I do poorly. I get to spend LOTS of quality time amongst the trees, looking for my golf balls." Scott also tries to stay in shape by lifting weights and participating in sports.
