Like many aerospace engineers, Scott is a frustrated astronaut wanna-be (unlike some, he freely admits this). Scott has held the world’s third-best job, and once received an award for making a planeload of scientists ill. He has worked for both the Space Shuttle and Space Station programs, and when talking to non-techie types he describes his current job as “making sure the shuttle gets into space with no gigantic kabooms”.

Off the job, Scott is a polyamorous vegetarian single parent (just like everyone else in fandom). Past hobbies have included SCA rapier combat and tall-ship sailing, but these days his primary evening activities seem to be cook and chauffeur (see “single parent” earlier).
