Some of Scott’s favorite stories he’s told include a WWII veteran who loved electric guitar, helping a woman remove a blighted garage before it toppled onto her home, and a circus company that was overstocked with corn dog sticks and prizes throughout the pandemic.
In his free time, Scott enjoys spending time with his wife, who is a news producer (it runs in the family) and his Labrador retriever, Harley.
His hobbies include reading, writing, playing the keyboard, video editing and exploring. Some of his favorite books include A Clockwork Orange, Remains of the Day, The Sound and the Fury.
Scott often speaks with future journalists and public relations professionals at Oakland University to help provide guidance and inspiration.
