Starting in January, he will be an active member of the 40 Below board of directors, and is looking forward to helping advance and grow the organization. Scott enjoys spending his spare time outside; usually at his family camp near Randville, Michigan hunting for grouse or whitetails, or on the trails at Al Quaal hiking or snowshoeing. When he’s not outside you can find him working on his blog, or cheering on the Tigers, Packers, Redwings, or the Michigan State Spartans. Scott currently lives in Ishpeming with his wife Valerie, dog Sebastian, and cat Moo Moo.
