He was a member of Sigma Chi Fraternity. He was a banker with Hancock Bank and Merchants Marine Bank, both in Gulfport, Mississippi, and later captained several charter fishing boats in Gulfport.

Scott’s love of hunting developed in his high school years in the Mississippi Delta, and he fell in love with fishing and boating in the Mississippi Sound when visiting his grandparents and upon moving to the Mississippi Gulf Coast as a young man. He captained many vessels, but his favorites were the High Tide, the PJ and the Miss Moss. Upon relocating to Northeast Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina, he renewed his love for hunting with friends in the Hurricane Hunting Club in Richland Parish.
