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.

Clawson residents sound off after 70 mature trees were marked to be cut down

A Clawson neighborhood is feeling stumped after a city project marked more than 70 mature trees to cut down. This was part of a project voted on back in 2024 that will fix up these roads and improve the waterline. However, it appears a lot of people were unaware of just how many trees this project was going to remove until just a couple of weeks ago when notices were placed on doors.
