Through his project experience and technical work, Scott has developed special expertise in structural engineering design, especially in the areas of wood and cold-formed steel design. Scott nurtures the engineers who work with him to support their professional development and to appreciate the complexities of engineering design and code compliance.
In 2010, Scott took part in a delegation of architects and engineers performing ATC-20 building evaluations in post-earthquake Haiti. In 2012-13 he spent 33 months working in Afghanistan with the US Army Corps of Engineers.
