For the past four years, Scott was the Secondary Instructional Techology Leader in a Saskatoon collegiate. This fall, Scott started a new position as the Educational Technologist for Collegiate Renew, within the Saskatoon Public Schools.

In his spare time, Scott is an avid photographer and takes on contracts to photograph products and events, occasionally designing promotional campaigns. His work has been seen in publications such as Western Living magazine. He was fortunate to be given the opportunity to develop a digital photography program, with a colleague and good friend Ivan Tam, that he has taught for the past 7 years. Scott spent many years, until 2006, coaching the University of Saskatchewan Track & Field Team, the last few as the Associate Head Coach, and helped lead the program to 7 national championship titles. These successes lead to the opportunity to work with the Canadian National Track & Field Team program for 6 years. He also organizes sporting events for local schools, the University of Saskatchewan as well as international events throughout North America.

Scott is currently a graduate student in Educational Technology & Design at the University of Saskatchewan, where his is researching how authentic student engagement can be supported by blended learning environments.
