Scott is originally from Birmingham, AL but spent most of his childhood in Arkansas. He went to the University of Arkansas and graduated with a BS in Mathematics and a MA in Teaching. While in college, he and Amilee began dating and were married in June 2005. He was a teacher for one year but likes to joke that he “retired” from teaching Algebra because he’d rather teach teenagers about God and His purpose for their lives. Scott and Amilee also served as short-term missionaries in Naples, Italy for a year before returning to the states to work with youth. Scott came on staff with South Shore in November of 2019. Scott and Amilee love spending time with teenagers, helping equip them for the work God has for them. They also have 3 kids - Benjamin, Nathan and Abigail - and like to spend time going to the beach, going for family walks, watching movies, eating at new restaurants, and playing board games.

Fun Fact: A few years ago a student challenged Scott to a pizza eating contest. Scott beat him by eating 21.5 pieces of pizza in the span of about 45 minutes.
