Scott grew up in Marshall and graduated from Marshall High School in 1989. After high school he began working in the service industry, but found his calling in the Information Technology (IT) field. After working in businesses of various sizes he ran his own IT consulting firm for nearly 10 years. Scott has now been working in IT for nearly 30 years and it has given him a great ability to gather information and look at the big picture impacts of decisions.
In 2018 Scott was elected as the Ward 1 representative on the Marshall City Council. During his time on Council he has also served as the chair of the Northeast Neighborhood Improvement Authority, a member of the Zoning Board of Appeals, and as the Council liaison for the Marshall Planning Commission. He has also served on the Budget Review and City Manager Review sub-committees.
As mayor, Scott has been proud to represent the City of Marshall on the Calhoun County Dispatch Authority board, the Firekeepers Local Revenue Sharing board, and the Cronin Foundation board. Scott has also been honored to be a featured speaker at the Marshall Pride celebration and at Marshall Motorfest in both 2025 and 2026. Representing the City of Marshall is truly the best part of this job!
