In 2006-2007 he served as Commodore. In 2008 he continued to serve as Staff Commodore and on the Nominating Committee during 2008 & 2009. He continues as a member of the Nominating Committee.

Scott began work at Fun with Wheels Suzuki, a motorcycle dealership, where he worked during his college days and ended up buying the business. Scott later sold the business and began work in the oil & gas industry where he worked as a Production Superintendent for 23 years.
