Scott graduated with an M.S. in Business Management from the University of Georgia, Athens, GA, and has had a lifelong interest in geology. His undergraduate degree in Geoscience from the Northeast Louisiana University, Monroe, LA, plus the many years of owning his own environmental consulting business are evidence of his expertise in mineralogy. He is a Registered Professional Geologist in four (4) states and an Internationally certified Professional Geologist in Erosion and Sedimentation Control (CPESC) . Combining these experiences with his remarkable management skills and years of service in the Air Force and Navy Reserve, make him just the kind of instructor you would want to have to teach you the ins and outs of mineral identification. Scott's many interests include numismatics, mineralogy, racquetball, golf, running, hiking and family oriented activities.
