Personal experiences enrich Scott's leadership teaching. Scott's first taste of high-performance leadership was as a navigator in the U.S. Navy's Assault Craft Unit One, performing "insertions" and "extractions" for the US Navy S.E.A.L.s. Participation in competitive sports has provided further insights. In 1996 he set the record in the flying 200-meter time trial at the National Sports Center Velodrome and competed at the World Championships. In July of 2000, Scott fulfilled a personal dream by following the Tour de France from start to finish and producing a film of his adventure. The film, The Tour Baby!, has raised over $200,000 for the Lance Armstrong Cancer Foundation and the David Phinney Foundation.

Scott resides in the Ojai Valley, near Santa Barbara, with his wife Kathleen and daughter, Olivia. His passions include surfing, bicycle racing, digital filmmaking and adventure travel.
