After receiving his degree he began working for the State of Utah as a Social Worker and retiring as a Juvenile Court Probation Officer in 2017. One of his proudest accomplishments was the Visions Program, he jointly developed, that worked with repeat juvenile offenders teaching them lifelong skills that included, nutrition and gardening, as well as giving back to the community and was a popular alternative to picking up trash along the highway or shoveling buffalo dung on Antelope Island. As a young boy, Scott enjoyed fishing and hunting with his dad.
