Scott was born in St. Louis, Missouri in 1980. He attended Evening Street Elementary School, Worthingway Middle School and graduated from Thomas Worthington High School in 1998.

He also played for a short time on Columbus’ Land Sharks professional indoor lacrosse team in the early 2000s. In 2001, Scott began his career in the fashion industry working for Abercrombie and Fitch.

Addison would be joined in 2009 by her equally cherished brother Porter Joseph. Scott took great pride in the care and teaching of his children and in watching their growth. In 2010 Scott started his domestic fashion trim and tag business, Original Brand. As the enterprise began to build an international presence, Scott was able to bring his brother Brent into the firm.
