Scott attended Virginia Grade School and then Lewiston High School. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, pulling John Deere tractors, and showing Hereford cattle from the family farm. He had a knack for grooming cattle and could be found behind the scenes doing that very thing at shows and sales across the Midwest. Growing up, Scott gained a true passion for dogs of all kinds. He owned hunting dogs, cattle dogs, and many house dogs, who were his special companions.

On June 23, 2001, he married Darlene Nordness and became a stepdad to Ron, Jr., and Cara Lantz, whom he loved dearly. While living in Rushford, Scott joined the Mystic Masonic Lodge #69, where he made new friends and helped with various activities.
