BACKGROUND / BIO

Proudly born in Billings, Montana, Scott Horton was the first-born child to Marie and Phillip Horton, a pair of free-spirited high school sweethearts who made sure to instill a love of nature in both Scott and his younger sister. The family didn't come from a lot of money, with Phillip owning a small construction company and Marie helping to make ends meet working as a school nurse. Even in the lean times though, the family was happy and managed to provide a stable upbringing for their two children. With a natural aptitude for sports, Scott grew up playing baseball and hockey through much of his youth, though as he progressed through high school he began to pull back on organized team sports for more solo. He loved to swim, fish, and spend as much time as possible enjoying the scenic nature of his home state, travelling whenever possible to nearby lakes and campgrounds.

Despite getting good enough grades to attend college, Scott opted instead to join his father in construction after graduation. For a few years the two worked side by side, but by 2009 the company was struggling, and his father made the decision to close it down and found work managing a small hardware store. While it was enough to support his parents, Scott knew if he had any hope of finding a meaningful career he'd have to look outside of his hometown. As always, he found solace that summer by getting away for an extended camping expedition at Yellowstone. As it turned out, his answer was in front of him the whole time.

After gaining the necessary courses to begin working in the Parks Department in Billings, he began to set his sights higher, eventually landing as a volunteer firefighter in town at first with an eye on becoming a professional. Before too long he'd joined the volunteer fire department at Yellowstone itself, and soon found himself part of a group of friends who called themselves the Smokey Bunch. Scott remained dedicated to the job, eventually completing the necessary course work and programs to get hired as a probie with a local fire department in Bozeman.
