Scott is known for his quick wit, sense of humor, positive attitude, and commitment to bettering himself and those around him. He has a love of good books, improvisational comedy, differing worldviews, travel, public speaking, coaching little league, cognitive behavioral therapy, and adventures with his wife, Sara, of 17 years. Scott is also a licensed and ordained minister who enjoys blending the secular with the sacred, often in an irreverent, thought provoking manner.
