Scott A. Ferguson, Sr., was born in Shakopee, Minnesota. His father was in commercial radio, so the family moved around southern Minnesota and Iowa until he got a job with the Voice of America in Washington, D.C. They moved to Virginia, where Scott graduated from high school and began working for the U.S. Secret Service in 1976. It was there that he met his future wife, and they married in 1983. They have remained together for over 36 years and raised two wonderful boys in southern Maryland. Scott’s hobbies include grilling out, bonfires, fishing, and target shooting. He retired from the U.S. Secret Service Uniformed Division, at the rank of Lieutenant, in 2016. While working for the Secret Service, he was privileged to meet every president from Gerald R. Ford to then-candidate Donald J. Trump.<br>
