Scott served on the Newport Beach Planning Commission from 2006-2010; he also chaired the Commission for a term. During this time he helped lead implementation of the comprehensive zoning plan of the 2006 General Plan Update as approved by the voters. This was a comprehensive overhaul that changed the approach to the zoning code.

They have three grown children all born at Hoag Hospital in Newport Beach; two graduated from Corona Del Mar High School, where both excelled in water polo and swimming. Their son and his wife have two children (and Scott and Linda’s two grandchildren). Their youngest recently graduated with her Masters in Sports Management, where she had a water polo scholarship.
Scott and Linda are both committed to their church, where Scott is a lay leader in the Men’s Ministry. And in past years, Scott was also a scoutmaster for Brian’s Boy Scout troop, where the Eagle Scout tradition was passed from father to son.
