As a young six year old, Scott and his family made the move from Troutdale to Corbett. His mom saw an ad in the Gresham Outlook and thought the home and property sounded promising. Upon visiting, it was a different story! The "fabulous acreage, home and barn" needed a GREAT deal of LOVE. Scott's dad, Barry had been in construction for many years and was quite handy, so decided to take on the "challenge." Scott and his 4 year old brother Spencer were happy to have a larger home and plenty of space to run around. Scott recalls that one of his happiest memories was having his animals that he would not have been able to keep in the city or suburbs. The pasture has always had goats and sheep as well as a cow. Add to that a few rabbits, cats and dogs. Growing up in the small school district, Scott says he greatly appreciates the deep friendships he has built over the years with classmates that he played music and sports with as well as Boy Scouts and church. Although he is now a Junior at the Univ. of Hawaii, he still looks forward to coming home on breaks to reconnect with friends. Double majoring in both International Business and Marketing with a minor in Speech in the Honors Program, Scott says Corbett prepared him for the challenging course work. It was teachers as well as coaches who encouraged and made an impact on Scott. Mr. Derek Jacques was the one who helped guide Scott to the Univ. his senior year at Corbett. Scott says he loves the sunshine of Hawaii but loves the incredible scenery and different seasons of Corbett. Upon graduation, Scott is looking to stay on the west coast, but is willing to take a good paying job wherever possible as he says he is pretty tired of being a cash strapped college kid!
