Before launching his freelance journalism and business writing career, Scott was associate editor of Premiere Video magazine, covering the Canadian home video industry. During his two years with the magazine he wrote extensively about new DVDs, videogames and briefly tasted Hollywood glory by interviewing such C-list celebrities as Carmen Electra and the supporting cast of Matrix Reloaded. Scott was also the national DVD and videogame columnist for sister publication Famous magazine, and continues to write his monthly videogame column.

Earlier, Scott cut his writing and editing teeth as a staff writer at the IT World Canada group of print and online technology magazines, sniffing out interesting stories for IT professionals and decoding the alphabet soup of 21st century IT trends.

Before becoming a professional writer, Scott earned Canada’s first degree in Popular Culture (Brock University, 2001), finishing first in his class (of three) as well as a Professional Writing certificate. These qualifications finally allowed him to rehabilitate a youth misspent as an engineering student and later working at jobs that involved a name tag but typically not a chair. When not applying his extraordinary gifts to Tribal Communications, Scott enjoys sitting, playing violent and destructive videogames (as research for his columns, of course), fly fishing and teaching semiotic and structural analysis of news, music, films and TV to his eight-year-old daughter.

Scott recently received two nominations for the Kenneth R. Wilson Awards for his work with Food and Hospitality Magazine. The KRW awards are sponsored by Canadian Business Press.
