In 2013, life brought Scott back to North Carolina where he was hired by Atlantic Brew Supply prior to joining the Raleigh Brewing Company brew team full time. Scott oversaw production for the rapidly expanding brewery for 7 years before joining the Southline Brewing Company team. Scott is excited to be part of the mission to bring a new brewery and beer garden to his hometown in 2022.

In Scott's free time, he enjoys riding BMX, mountain biking, doing yard work and focusing on fitness and nutrition.
