After graduating from FSU in 1994, Scott went to work for the Weathervane Playhouse in Akron, Ohio as their Resident Designer/Technical Director.   Scott's next job was as Technical Director for Players Guild in Canton, Ohio.  After a season there, Scott then moved back home to Texas to begin his freelance design work with the North Texas premiere of Molly Sweeney at Plano Repertory Theatre.  Since then, Scott began working for Flower Mound Performing Arts Theatre as scenic designer for their production of Godspell in 2003 and is now their Executive Producer, Resident Designer and Production Stage Manager.
