His younger years were spent in Detroit, graduating from Redford High School and receiving his Mastery of Carpentry from a Detroit Trade School. He married Linda and had 2 children (Lance and Dawn) and moved his family to Holland, Michigan where he opened a carpet store and built many homes from ground up for 10 years. He always worked hard to care for his family, friends and employees. He then relocated his family to Colorado, opening his own flooring installation company. He spent most of his years in Colorado, except for a few years spent in Florida where he also owned his own flooring installation company. He finished his career working at a wonderful company, Focus Interiors with amazing coworkers as well as with his friend Pete. He loved the water, enjoyed fishing, reading books, and watching westerns like Gunsmoke. Scott was a very respected businessman in the flooring industry and had an immense knowledge and ability to build or fix anything. He was a true master at his craft. Scott was a very easy-going man that loved to always be busy except when he was taking a nap. He loved his naps. He had a gentleness about him that included a great deal of compassion and kindness.
