SPREADING THE GOOD NEWS OF THE GOSPEL
God is #1 in Scott's life. The main mission of Gregorian Studios and Scott is to spread the good news of the gospel. In fact, that was the seed to this mission as Scott had heard at the end of every Mass to go and spread the good news of the gospel, consequently this became the means to do just that. Through creating music about God in every day life, speeches and serving others was able to bring a new song of good news supported by the studio. Scott is a convert to Catholicism. He calls himself a practicing Catholic Christian and his bumpy dirt road to a relationship with God is inherent in his songs. Joan his wife is a cradle Catholic. His daughters Ti and Allyssa are cradle Catholics both married in the church and continue to practice seeking God.

EDUCATION
&
AWARDS
I was very familiar with the military as My Grandfather had won a silver and bronze star in WWII. My Dad was a Paratrooper, My Uncle was in the Navy during the Vietnam War, My Brother was in a Military Police unit with the Army. I was very interested in the Marines so when a friend asked me to join with him, I really didn't hesitate. We said our goodbyes to friends and family at the end of summer of our graduating year 1980 and arrived at Marine Corps Recruit Depot, San Diego CA. We started our intense training to become Marines. I was Fourth Squad Leader for much of my time in boot camp. I was promoted to PFC upon graduation from boot camp. I had orders to go to Naval Air Station Meridian MS for Aviation Supply MOS 3072. I graduated from there after 13 weeks of training with orders to report to Marine Corps Air Station El Toro, CA. In reporting for duty, a Marine Corps Major called me to attention in front of him and said that a top sergeant was here for me as I was to report to Marine Corps Air Station Tustin, CA. and to go with him. He had assigned me to a Helicopter squadron. There I would find my way over the next 2 years eventually making the rank of Lance Corporal. The Staff Seargeant and Lieutenant in charge of me called me outside the hanger shortly after our morning inspection and gave me orders to report to Marine Corps Air Station Kaneohe Bay, HI. I fulfilled all my goals as a Marine there, I was promoted to Corporal and then to Sergeant. I went through training at Pearl Harbor Brig to be our squadron's Prisoner Escort. I was assigned to a detail of 3 other Marines to raise the Flag on the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor on the anniversary of the bombing 12-07-1983. I received a top security clearance. I was given TAD orders to board the USS Okinawa for parts unknown eventually patrolling and preparing our helicopters for missions of the coast of Central America after 6 months we ported back in Pearl Harbor, then a bus trip to the other side of the Island to Kaneohe Bay where I was awarded a Meritorious Mast award.
