Scott's road to CEO has taken an unconventional route as he began his career in show business. Whether he was teaching performance to competitive ice skaters alongside Olympic medalist, Ron Ludington, to becoming the official blogger for Project Runway Season 3, Scott has always been the first to raise his hand when an opportunity presented itself. Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Scott grew up in Scottsdale, Arizona and has lived in several states along the way. He moved to Las Vegas in 1999 with his husband, Michael, and joined Make-A-Wish in 2018 as the Vice President of Mission Advancement before taking over as CEO in October 2021.
