Scott Proper

Heart Transplant

realvail local since: May 1, 2002

Scott Proper is a New York transplant who moved to Vail in May of 2002. He enjoys the backcountry, motorcycling, hiking, biking and most all other outdoor activities Vail offers.

He also SCUBA dives and misses the ocean. Scott sometimes pops on poons and climbs the frozen waterfalls of East Vail or the gullies surrounding nearby Fremont Pass. In his spare time, Scott works in finance.

Scott met his wife Paulina at Yale and rather than follow the common track to a life of indentured servitude in investment banking or consulting, headed west, didn't look back, and encourage you to do the same. Their friends who did opt for indentured servitude visit Scott and Paulina in Vail regularly when their cigar-chomping overseers allow them to temporarily leave their cubicles.

Scott and Paulina are both active in the community as volunteers. They live in West Vail with sarcastic art and their dog, Charlie.
