Scottie was honorably discharged from the Air Force in December of 1989.  The family then moved to Texas where his first son was born.  Timothy was welcomed into this world on June 20, 1997.  While in Texas, Scottie went to work for the Metro Police Department in Houston, TX from 1992 until 2005.  During his time in Texas, his favorite hobby was racing for Hinton Family Racing.  He competed regularly in quarter mile drag races.  After leaving the police department, Scottie went on a new adventure for the State Department from 2006 until 2008. This adventure involved doing military work in Afghanistan.
