Scott graduated from Lethbridge Community College in the spring of 1977 and started with Alberta Parks in a six month seasonal position as a Horticulture Supervisor for three Provincial Parks in Southern Alberta. (Beauvais Lake, Taber and Police Outpost). After making contact with the Park Rangers that summer, he decided to pursue that the avenue with Parks. In the spring of 1978, he was offered a Seasonal Ranger in charge position at Woolford Park for another six month position.
Then in the spring of 1979, he started as the Senior Seasonal Ranger at Kinbrook Island. A very short time there ( 3 weeks) he was offered a bit of an advancement and transferred to Willow Creek Provincial Park as the Seasonal Ranger in charge. It was again a six month position.
During the winter Seasons, Scott took another job as an instrument operator at the Canadian Sugar factory in Taber. But a position in the Parks was still his desire, so he went back to Willow Creek Park in the same capacity in the spring of 1980. During the late summer of 1980, Alberta Parks ran a permanent competition for a very limited number of Park Rangers. Scott was successful in that competition and was offered a permanent position at Taber Park starting in the fall of 1980. He was there for only nine months and then was transferred and promoted to a Park Ranger II position at Wyndhan Carseland Provincial Park. He remained in that capacity until July of 1988 when he was transferred and later promoted to a Park Ranger III position and stationed at Young's Point Provincial Park.
In July of 1990, he was transferred to Saskatoon Island Provincial Park. His family lived at the Park for seven years. After that time they moved into the Town of Wembley for five years before purchasing acreage just west of Saskatoon Park where they remain today. The number of Parks, staff and contracts he has managed has been increasing steadily since 2002 when he took on the position as the Grande Prairie District Team Leader.
Scott was in charge of the Northwest portion of the recruitment committee for eight years starting about 1992. He also served on the joint worksite committee for many years at various times. Scott has always enjoyed his positions as Park Ranger/ Conservation Officer because he likes people and enjoys the freedom of the job and the wide variety of work that it entails. Scott is well known in his community and has volunteered in many capacities including the Saskatoon Ag. Society, Wembley Ag Society, Wembley Minor Hockey, Wembley Baptist Church Youth Group, Canada Winter Games, Camp Wapiti and various senior level hockey organizations.
Scott is very much a family man and enjoys his time with his wife and 3 boys. He enjoys riding quads, sleds and motorcycles. The family also has 4 horses on their acreage that they enjoy. Scott is very thankful that he has always had so many high quality people to work with and have fun with in a rewarding career with Alberta Parks.
