Born and raised in Grenora, Scott graduated from Grenora High School in 1993 and furthered his education at the University of North Dakota in Williston, earning his degree in 1995.

When I am not on-air, I enjoy working in my yard, a great steak, Vegas, Keno, and a cool Coca-Cola. I also love the Vikings, and I do enjoy getting back to Grenora to watch the Gophers or Mon-Dak Thunder play from time to time too. I genuinely love the Mon-Dak region, and the best part of my job is meeting all of our great listeners.
