From an early age Scott was an electronics whiz kid. When seven years old he built a motorized robot from spare parts he found on his dad’s workbench. He continued his interest in robots throughout his life collecting thousands of them.  

He was fascinated with 3-D printing, intrigued by all facets including coding, design and construction. He was always creating various projects for himself and family.
