He was born in California and raised in San Antonio and Italy. Scott began his life of service in the United States Air Force, serving his country. After his military service, he worked at Western State Hospital, where he met the love of his life, Sheryl A. Adkins.

During this time, he also worked as a Firearms Instructor, known for his calm leadership, deep knowledge, and dedication to training others. Scott later joined the Oklahoma Department of Corrections, where he worked in Human Resources and served again as a Firearms Instructor.

Above all else, he was a proud “girl dad,” devoted to his daughters, who were the center of his world. His kindness, humor, and unwavering support will continue to guide them always.

He had a lifelong passion for sports, starting with playing baseball as a young man, later an avid basketball and football fan. He loved music, finding peace and happiness in music. Outside of his work and family life, Scott and Sheryl were avid motorcycle riders, touring the United States, especially enjoying annual trips to the Sturgis motorcycle rally.
