Originally from the United States of America, born in Manhattan, and raised in Long Island, New York, Scott is an individual who has always found the secrets of the seas calling to him. Fascinated from an early age with all aquatic life, he spent his youth breeding fishes and exploring the coastline before pursuing his interest further by studying at the University of Oregon. There, he picked up valuable experience by spending a year working at the university's own Neuroscience lab taking care of cuttlefish. Concurrently hespent a year at Oregon Institute of Marine Biology (O.I.M.B),the universities marine lab, and also spent his free time learning about coral propagation.After completing his education, Scott felt it was time to explore the world and set about traveling across the globe to pursue his passion. A constant desire to seek out adventure and a thirst to discover new surroundings led him to Sabah, Malaysia, where he has spent three years gaining hands-on experience on coral reef restoration and turtle rehabilitation. With this experience, he has taken on the responsibility of helping Gaya Island Resort, and YTL Hotels, to pursue an active role in conservation by implementing initiatives and setting up marine conservation programs while assisting also in coral planting and rehabilitating the coral reef. He hopes that his work will contribute in the efforts to end blast and cyanide fishing so that the coral reefs will have a chance to regrow and strive to its natural beauty once again.
