Family Life

Scott Nielson was born April 1976 and grew up in Roy Utah. Growing up he had 6 siblings consisting of 4 brothers and 2 sisters. Scott's parents worked hard to give him the necessities in life. His mother was a homemaker and his father a truck driver. Money often got tight in his childhood and implanted a drive in Scott to succeed in life. Scott was given many character traits from his parents that serve him well. His family moved to Hurricane Utah shortly after Scott finished middle school and Scott attended Hurricane High School in southern Utah. 

Scott later met and married Kristin Kolar and they soon started a family together. They have 7 children, Rylee, Hannah, Jacob, Leah, the twins Nathan and Lincoln, and their youngest Kamryn.

The entire family enjoys spending time together. Their kids enjoy being outdoors, going to the ocean, surfing and swimming and being involved. Scott and Kristin's children participate in many different hobbies and they, as parents, are extremely involved in their lives. Attending theatrical performances to karate matches Scott and Kristin are always hands on and involved.     

In 2018 Scott and Kristen moved their family to Haiku Hawaii on the island of Maui. Scott and Kristen wanted to show their family a different culture while they were still young so that they could develop key character traits such as leadership, sailing, snorkeling, navigating the ocean, self-discipline and more. Family values are a top priority for Scott and Kristen. After they had lived on the island for a while they decided to move back to Utah where they reside today. They built a small home for their family to live and Scott and Kristen continue to find new business adventures.
