Scott Harris graduated with two degrees from Georgia Tech. In 2009 he and his wife Becky founded Catoctin Creek Distilling Company, the first legal distillery in Loudoun County since before Prohibition. Today they sell their award-winning Virginia rye whisky in over 40 states and eight countries internationally.

An Army brat for most of his early life, Scott never lived in any one place longer than three years, until settling in Loudoun County in 1997. Scott and his wife Becky now call Purcellville home and intend to retire there.

In his spare time, Scott has embraced the role of citizen scientist, fully immersing himself into birding. A frequent participant in local bird walks and advocacy for wild spaces and native species, Scott endeavors to bird every single day. There is no kingfisher, kinglet or kingbird that is safe from his checklist.
