An Educator with Multifaceted Industry Experience

Professional, Competitor and Judge

Scott began his love of pets at the early age of 10 when he went with his father, who was a carpenter, to an Airedale Terrier breeder’s kennel to do some work. He spent more time playing with the Airedales than helping his father leading to a lifelong attraction and love of dogs, in which he would dedicate his life to. Since 1992, Scott launched into the pet styling contest ring with his most prestigious wins including Best Pet Stylist in Show at the U.S. Pet Pro Classic twice, the coveted Intergroom International Groomer of the Year award. He has also been a GroomTeam USA member. As a Professional Pet Stylist, Scott owned his own salon, Smoochie Pooch.
