Scott was a member of the IMS Public Address announce crew for seven years, and from 1989-1998, he worked as a sports anchor and reporter at WRTV-6 (ABC) in Indianapolis. Scott also spent six seasons as the TV Host of the Indiana Pacers television broadcasts and nine years as the morning radio host on WFYI-FM (NPR) in Indianapolis. Scott is equally adept as an emcee and event host at functions ranging from large fundraisers to the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra’s outdoor summer concert series, “Symphony on the Prairie,” which he hosted for 17 years. In his spare time, Scott is an avid musician who plays upright bass and electric bass in several jazz bands.
