Scott grew up traveling the world as the son of a career Air Force officer. He returned to Virginia for college at the University of Virginia, and he settled in Richmond in December 1985 as a medical sales and marketing representative for Abbott Laboratories’ diagnostics division. Scott’s clients appreciate his practical business experience prior to becoming a lawyer.
In 1991, Scott returned to the University of Virginia to attend law school, where he was Executive Editor of the Virginia Law Review and was admitted to the Order of the Coif by graduating in the top 10% of his class in 1994. After a one-year federal court clerkship in Norfolk, Virginia, Scott has practiced law based in Richmond ever since.
In his spare time, Scott enjoys spending time with his wife Elaine and their two sons. He has given back to the community as a Big Brother and has been active in the Boy Scout program in the Midlothian area. He enjoys golf and other sports, music, reading, and photography in his spare time.
