Scott attended elementary school at the Osborn School in Rye and was a graduate of Rye High School, class of 1993. He went on to study Hotel/Restaurant Management-at SUNY Cobleskill where he furthered his love of cooking. Scott’s love for cooking led him to positions from Rye to Vermont, California and on to Colorado.
Scott was active in Boy Scouting as an elementary and high school student, attaining the highest rank in scouting, becoming an Eagle Scout. An avid skier, he was a member of Rye High’s ski team and spent many years skiing with family and friends at Mt. Snow in West Dover, VT., and the mountains of Colorado.
