Scott spent most of his youth in Grand Island, NE, graduating from Grand Island Senior High School in 2002. As a young person, Scott developed an interest in information technology and music, playing saxophone and serving as head drum major for the Grand Island Senior High School marching band. While a senior in high school, Scott was accepted into the JD Edwards Honors Program (now known as the Raikes School of Computer Science and Management) at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where he earned his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (2006) and Master of Business Administration (2007) degrees. While at UNL, Scott was an active member of Pi Kappa Alpha, and studied at Oxford University in England. Scott traveled widely in Europe. One memorable experience was skydiving over the Swiss Alps. After leaving UNL, Scott pursued his dream of working for Cisco Systems in Silicon Valley, CA. Scott later returned to Nebraska, working in the field of information assurance at Mutual of Omaha and National Indemnity Company. Scott was a staunch proponent of conservative ideology, believed in strict construction of the United States Constitution, and was a fierce advocate of self-reliance and limited government. He enjoyed fitness training, golf, literature, playing guitar, and listening to music. Scott loved a brisk walk with his dog, Hawkeye. He loved family activities, always arriving at events with a smile, enthusiasm, a spring in his step, and a passion for a good time. Scott was a gracious host and highly-skilled cook, and enjoyed smoking meat for his guests. He recently enjoyed a cruise to Alaska with his family. Scott is survived by his parents, Gregory and Sally Anderson of Grand Island, NE; brother, Noah Anderson of Omaha, NE; and niece, Bethany Anderson of Omaha, NE; as well as numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins. Scott was preceded in death by his grandparents, Irvin Martens, Ione Martens, Maurice Anderson, and Elaine Anderson. Memorials are suggested to the family for future designation.
