After winning in the Pine City Derby, he switched to working in the pit and made many ‘Radar trany’s’. In 1990, he married Patty (Anderson) Keyport and fulfilled his long held dream of building a log home. Scott did much of the work himself with help from his Dad and brothers. He continued to go on fishing and hunting trips with friends and family. He delighted in sharing his love of the outdoors with his kids including bringing Joe out to watch for deer as a toddler and teaching Katie fishing techniques. After purchasing land with his brothers and building a cabin together using logs from the land milled in his Dad’s sawmill – Scott enjoyed frequent weekend getaways with family. His faith, family and friends were extremely important to him. His proudest moments were watching Joe and Katie growing up and all of their accomplishments.
