Simper grew up on a farm in Vernal, Utah and graduated from Southern Utah University with a Bachelor of Science in engineering. In the spring of 1992 he moved to Overton, Nevada where he takes part in many outdoor activities such as scouting and camping.
Scott’s interest in photography has taken him down many distant paths from Santa Ana, California to Reno, Nevada and all points in between. Wherever Scott happens to be, he is never without his camera and gear, hoping to capture just the perfect image.
