Biography:

Scott Perry served three terms as a Pennsylvania State Representative before being elected in 2013 as the U.S. representative for Pennsylvania's 4th congressional district.

Scott began working at age 13 picking fruit at Ashcombe’s Farm in Mechanicsburg. Since then, he's been a mechanic, dock worker, draftsman and a licensed insurance agent. He’s a 1980 graduate of Northern High School in Dillsburg and the Cumberland-Perry Vo-Tech School. Scott put himself through college while working a full-time job. He graduated from the Pennsylvania State University in 1991 where he earned a bachelor’s of science degree in business administration management.

In 1993, Scott started his own mechanical contracting firm. The Dillsburg-based busin ess provides contract construction and maintenance services to municipal and investor-owned utilities from North Carolina to New York and specializes in large meter calibration.

Scott began his military career in 1980 when he enlisted in the Pennsylvania Army National Guard. He attended basic training at Fort Dix, New Jersey, and graduated Advanced Individual Training at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, as a technical drafting specialist. He graduated as the president of his Officer Candidate School and was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Field Artillery branch. He soon branch-transferred to Army Aviation, where he became qualified in numerous aircraft (Huey, Cayuse, Kiowa, Cobra, Chinook, Apache, and Blackhawk) and is an instructor pilot. He has commanded at the company, battalion and brigade levels throughout his career. Most notably, Lieutenant Colonel Perry commanded the 2-104th General Support Aviation Battalion, which deployed to Iraq from 2009-2010. During this deployment, Scott flew 44 combat missions. In 2011, he was promoted to the rank of colonel, and became commander of the Fort Indiantown Gap National Training Site. Scott was selected for promotion to the rank of Brigadier General in 2014, and was honored to serve as the assistant division commander of the 28th Infantry Division – the Army’s oldest, actively-serving Division. After serving in his final military position as assistant adjutant general, Joint Forces Headquarters, Pennsylvania National Guard, Perry retired on 1 March 2019, after nearly 40 years in uniform. Scott is a graduate of the U.S. Army War College, where he earned a master’s degree in strategic studies.

Scott’s service to the community has included serving as the chairman of the Carroll Township Planning Commission, and as a member of the township Source Water Protection Committee. He was chairman of the Dillsburg Area Wellhead Protection Advisory Committee and he served on the Dillsburg Revitalization Committee. He was active in the Jaycees and was the regional director for the state organization. He also is a member of Dillsburg Legion Post #26, Dillsburg VFW Post #6771, Lions Club International, Army Aviation Association of America, the NRA, and numerous other associations.

Scott and his wife Christy are the proud parents of two daughters, Ryenn and Mattea. See more >>
