After graduating with honors from USM, Scott
was hired by the former U.S. Customs Service, where he was an import
specialist. After the September 11 terrorist attacks, Scott was selected to be a
special agent with the Immigration and Customs Enforcement team at the
Department of Homeland Security. There, he received numerous awards and
citations while he investigated successes that included preventing the
export of radioactive material in Iraq and halting an attempt to
smuggle military aircraft parts to Pakistan, just to name a few
examples. On January 25 of 2016, Scott was killed in the line of duty while
conducting investigations to dismantle transnational criminal and
terrorist organizations that threaten the United States.
