A truck driver for the past 20 years, Scott upped his ante after seeing his first true pyromusical at the Pyrotechnics Guild International (PGI) “Catch a Falling Star” 2010 convention.  According to Scott, this public display “created the seed for what I do now.” Scott likes technology (it enables him to design amazing shows), single shots, and slices, which produce elaborate sweeping patterns.  He dislikes crackle (“it’s annoying and masks the music”) even though he admits it’s popular with fireworks fans.  That means Sky Wars fans will just have to settle for some snap and pop at Scott’s show.

Scott’s Favorite Fireworks Childhood Memory
As a young 5ish-year-old boy, Scott went with his entire family to a public city display.  He saw the large shells which he said, “seemed a lot larger than they are now.”  Back then his parents allowed him to only use sparklers and other “safe and sane fireworks” which were the only available fireworks in Wisconsin at that time.  Now he doesn’t need anyone’s permission—even his wife/pyro teammate Sheri—to do what he does…and thank goodness for that because boy oh boy does he do fireworks right!

Scott’s Pyromusical Music Selection
He calls his music of choice “Trance and Electronic Dance Music”—meaning it will be a mix of slow and fast paced type music with an electronic feel.  Scott said his shows are split up into a few songs with each tune expressing a distinct feeling and telling a different story.  Regarding color:  Scott likes all the colors in the rainbow, but sometimes he focuses on just one or two colors during a portion of his pyromusical.

Scott’s Best Sky Wars Memory
While he couldn’t pinpoint a specific Sky Wars memory, Scott loves the “camaraderie and being with like-minded people.”
