Scott lived on the family farm south of Massena during his childhood. He graduated from Cumberland-Massena High School in 1987. Scott went on to Simpson College, graduating with a Bachelors in Business Management in 1991. 

Scott’s pursuit of a career in business took him to the Des Moines area for his adult life, working with Ruan, Wells Fargo, and Federal Express. 

Scott was an avid reader and especially enjoyed spending time with his fraternity brothers from Kappa Theta Psi fraternity at Simpson College. Scott enjoyed spending time on the family farm. He enjoyed mowing and would often bring seeds and plants home for the family garden. At a younger age he enjoyed motorcycles. His 630 John Deere which belonged to Grandpa Earl is still at the farm. We enjoyed his wit, humor, and hearty laugh.
