Scott's great grandfather was a policeman and amateur boxer in New York until he was shot while walking his beat. This brush with death convinced him to give up police work and leave the city to become a traveling vaudevillian with an act that featured ventriloquism and pole climbing.

Three generations later, after graduating from the University of Kentucky and Miami Ad School, Scott returned to New York City to pick up where his great grandfather left off and pursue a career in advertising.   Scott's work has been recognized by Cannes, One Show, Clios, D&AD, Radio Mercury and Young Guns, and most recently - his work for Newcastle Brown Ale's "No Bollocks" campaign won Adweek's 2014 Ad of the Year.
