Scott came to FDA in September 2013 from all corners of the world, having spent a majority of the previous two decades as a technician, production rigger, production manager, entertainment technical supervisor and, finally, a consultant for many major cruise lines.

Scott is the currently FDA’s principal rigging and automation designer David Geffen Hall and NYU’s John A. Paulson Center in New York, several Norwegian Cruise Line ships, the Steelhouse in Omaha, Rice University’s Brockman Hall for Opera in Houston, the Yale Schwarzman Center in New Haven, Milwaukee’s Bradley Symphony Center, and the Prior Center for the Performing Arts at the College of the Holy Cross in Massachusetts, among many other projects.

While his time on cruise ships has taken him to exotic locales, Scott has also worked domestically, touring with major Broadway shows, as a member of the installation and show crew for the 1996 Olympic Ceremonies in Atlanta, Georgia, and spending a number of years as the production rigger for Harley Davidson.

He has designed and managed unique manual and automated performer flying systems for Sight & Sound Theatres, The Power Station Club in Singapore, and the original Broadway production of Curtains. 

Scott received his M.F.A. in technical direction & production from Northern Illinois University.
