Scott Hatfield Biography

Scott grew up in humble circumstances. Coming from a single-mother household under the poverty line in a rural California town, he joined the military at 21 years old. He served in the United States Navy as a Navy Corpsman. 

After the military, Scott moved to Utah and took a job with the Department of Veterans Affairs until he left to be the first in his family to go to college. He obtained a Bachelor of Science in Political Science with an emphasis in American Government and Constitutional Studies and has since begun working on his Master's in Public Administration from Utah Valley University. 

While Scott was in college, he worked for and continues to work for the Utah Department of Corrections and served as a Congressional Staffer for both Senators Mike Lee and Mitt Romney. 

Scott has a beautiful wife and a 1-year-old daughter. He enjoys using Utah's public lands backpacking, hiking, and fishing on the weekends if he’s not at the pitch watching Real Salt Lake.
