He continued his education at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas, and graduation in December, 1989 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science.
Scott moved to Fort Worth to work for Lockheed Martin Aeronautics (formerly General Dynamics), where he is the Chief Software Architect on his current project. As a former student of Texas A&M University, he quickly became involved in the Fort Worth/Tarrant County A&M Club. He developed and maintained the Club's first web site starting in 1992. He is still involved in some Club activities, but has resigned from his duties as the web site administrator at the end of 2008.
Scott became involved at Beth-El Congregation in Fort Worth in the late 1990s. Since 2000, he has been the advisor of the Fort Worth Federation of Temple Youth (FWFTY), the senior high school youth group at Beth-El; a part of NFTY. In 2004, Scott began learning to play guitar to help bring some ruach (spirit) to the youth group, and shortly thereafter, in 2006, he was recruited to lead the t'fillah (prayer service) for the religious school. Besides volunteering time at Beth-El, he has also volunteered his Friday mornings during the summer of 2009 to lead Shabbat (Sabbath) song sessions at Camp Shalom, the day camp at Ahavath Sholom.
During his free time (i.e. when not working or volunteering), Scott enjoys lazing around the house, working on home improvement projects, and hanging out with friends. |
