Although Scot and his wife, Susan, are empty nesters, they would say they still have two “children” (i.e. dogs) at home. He and his wife enjoy implementing lean manufacturing initiatives throughout their home. Scot made the mistake of singing karaoke in front of John Stewart one night in Japan where he sang “My Cherie Amour” by Stevie Wonder. According to John, this is now the official song of MiddleGround Capital.
