Scott Harold McGrath, born in Walnut Creek, CA, was blessed to spend his 55 years of life traveling the world and bringing his Wife, Angelina, Daughter, Brenna, and Son, Kieran, with him on many adventures. The patriarch of a Disney loving family, annual expeditions to a Disney theme park or on a Disney cruise ship became a tradition. His favorite character was Goofy.

Scott served in the US Navy for 24 years, and was a lifetime member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. A leader and a teacher by nature, and often by profession, his final assignment for his church was ministering to the Marine Corps Officer Candidates in joyful tandem with his wife of thirty-two years.
