Joining the Navy right out of high school, he learned sacrifice and dedication as a foundation. The Navy afforded Scott many opportunities to grow, learn and lead.<\/p>\n Scott was often found going above and beyond the call of duty. He provided professional development advice to those he led and obtained his CPR Instructor Certificate. Personally, you\u2019d find him involved in community-focused initiatives, such as mentoring and tutoring local high school students. As a Chief, Scott was always invested in his troops, both professionally and personally. Scott carried this attitude through his naval career and into his civilian life.<\/p>\n During his deployment onboard the USS Lincoln during Desert Storm\u2019s \u201cShock and Awe<\/a>,\u201d Scott grappled with the harsh reality of sacrifice. As he served his country with unwavering dedication, he missed countless precious moments with his family. Despite the distance and the passage of time, his love for his family remained steadfast, a beacon of hope amidst the storm of uncertainty.<\/p>\n As a 23-year Navy veteran, Scott has already demonstrated incredible courage and resilience in the face of adversity. Now, as he faces this new battle, it\u2019s our turn to show him the same unwavering support he has always shown us.<\/p>\n Despite being deployed for much of his children\u2019s childhood, Scott always made every moment count when he was home. With a deep commitment to his family, he created cherished memories during those precious reunions. Whether it was a simple game of catch in the backyard, a family movie night filled with laughter, or a heartfelt conversation over dinner, Scott ensured that each moment was filled with love. Despite the challenges of military life and the demands of his service, his children always knew they were cherished.<\/p>\n As Scott confronts the daunting challenge of brain surgery, we rally around him, ready to provide the support and strength he so selflessly gave to our nation, his company, and the community.
