Scott (Accounting, ’91) and Diane (Education, ’90) Hammer met at
Southern Utah University while playing in the Scarlett & Black
Ceremonial Band during the 1980’s. He played the trumpet and she the
clarinet.
Today, Scott is the Owner/Agent of Andara Cruise & Travel and does some accounting and payroll for LGYC Power on the side.
“After years of working in the corporate field, I decided to start my
own travel business. I help people find the perfect vacation – and live
vicariously through their travel … needless to say, my bucket list is
growing larger rather than smaller,” said Scott.
Scott returned home from an LDS mission unsure of what to study in
college. He took Accounting 101 from David Rees and found he enjoyed
working with numbers. He has since been able to apply his accounting
knowledge throughout his career, but especially as a business owner and
entrepreneur.
Diane returned to work in 2012, after years of being a
stay-at-home-mom. She started working as a teacher’s aide, renewed her
teaching certificate and began pursuing a teaching position. She has
since taught Computer Technology and become a fifth grade teacher.
She’ll be teaching fourth grade, at Orchard Elementary in Orem,
beginning in the fall.
“I have always wanted to be a teacher. When I was taking my
Elementary Block classes I thoroughly enjoyed being in the classroom
teaching. These experiences helped me in many teaching positions I have
had at church, at home and as a career,” said Diane.
Their daughter Kasey, and a couple of Diane’s brothers, attended SUU.
Her father earned an associate’s degree from SUU when it was known as
the College of Southern Utah (CSU).
Scott enjoys golfing, hiking and coin collecting. Diane enjoys
reading, crafting and Dutch oven cooking. Together, they have raised six
children, and were recently blessed with their first granddaughter.
They enjoy traveling, teasing each other and spending time barbequing
with the family. Scott and Diane have been married 28 years and
presently reside in Orem, Utah.
