Scott had his eyes opened to the special needs population during his experience at a therapeutic equestrian center. After observing those in wheelchairs, and crutches get on top of a gentle giant and laugh he was hooked. He went on to receive his associate's degree from Dalton College in Health Information Technology and has been pursuing his passion ever since. Scott has also worked in the Dalton Public Schools System with special needs students in their classes.

Through his experience working in long-term care facilities, Scott has had many opportunities to advocate for seniors in the important daily details that make a difference in having a good quality of life when they otherwise might be overlooked.
