American ultramarathoner originally from Minnesota and now residing in Seattle, Washington. Scott began trail running in his childhood years, scampering through the woods in his backyard. His connection with nature included hunting, fishing and camping with his family in northern Minnesota, where he was born and raised. Scott dabbled in competitive running in junior high track, but didn't start logging serious miles until his sophomore year in high school to prepare for Nordic ski racing. It wasn't until these long summer runs on trails with ski poles that he truly discovered his passion for trail running. On a challenge from good friend and training partner, Dusty Olson, Scott ran his first ultra, the Minnesota Voyager 50 Mile, at the age of 20 in 1994. After placing second, Scott affirmed his love for the trails and found a new talent for ultra trail distances
