One of the talented and memorable "Class of 90", Scott went on to Penn State to pursue an Engineering degree, where he got involved in biomedical image processing. He continued his work in this field at Northeastern University, applying his engineering skills to analyzing heart health during operating room procedures. From there it was on to Harvard where his interest in heart "sounds" was redirected to speech. While at Harvard he was a Teaching Fellow and was honored with the Division of Engineering's Teaching Excellence Award. He also worked as a research assistant while at Harvard, focusing on multiple-microphone speech algorithms.

Scott has published several articles on his research and presented at numerous conferences. Since graduating from Harvard, he has served as a consultant for SparkNotes.com and Acoustic Magic. Currently he is a financial software programmer working to develop financial software for major financial institutions on Wall Street and around the world. In his "spare time" he keeps busy as a copy editor and columnist for REALbasic Developer Magazine, and he also creates iPhone applications for various clients. Scott recently endowed two scholarships at Mercyhurst Prep for science and math achievement.

"The school definitely had a feeling of being part of a family and that everyone, from students to teachers, seemed to be genuinely caring and supportive...I think the principles and generosity that I experienced there have shaped me as a person in my personal and professional life."
