While at Ohio University, he was also a member of the Bobcat baseball team as a pitcher. Upon graduation, he began working in the OU Athletics Business Office and retired in November 2011.

After retirement, he joined his dad, Chuck Dailey, at WATH radio, where he was a DJ, Sales Manager, and host of Sentimental Journey for 11 years. Most recently, he was a radio host with TMCR Broadcasting at WAIS/WSEO where he joyfully worked alongside his two special friends, Thom and Marianne Williams.

Scott was a kind, compassionate, and loving son, brother, friend, and uncle. He had a wonderful sense of humor, contagious laughter, and persistent optimism.

As a son of a veteran, he was also a member of the Sons of the American Legion.
