They remain together to this day (you do the math). Scott’s hobbies include fishing, playing guitar, fishing, playing the piano, and fishing. But there is nothing he and his wife enjoy more than hopping on their respective Harleys and hitting the road. Scott claims that through his entire career he has never worked with a better group of guys than here at Vertical Works and we have no reason to doubt him. By the way did we mention that Scott is also a trekkie?
