Scott has been affiliated with the Mandarins for over 56 years. He joined the drum corps in 1969 as a drummer. After “aging out,” he served as an instructor, historian, special services manager, public relations manager, corps director, and board member for the organization. He was inducted into the Mandarins Hall of Fame in 2019.
After retiring as an Information Technology Manager with the State of California, Scott has been busy with volunteer work for various groups. His long experience with the Mandarins impressed upon him the importance of giving back to the community. Thus, he continues a 18-year involvement with the Boy Scouts of America Troop 259, and 12 years as a team captain with the Land Park Volunteer Corps. Additionally, he volunteers with Asian Community Center, Make-A-Wish, California International Marathon, Ironman California, and other organizations.
