In a transformative decision, Dr. Scully chose to transition his career to public education in 1990. After obtaining his teaching credentials from the University of North Florida in 1984, he served as a dedicated classroom teacher of English and creative writing from 1992 to 1995. Driven by a commitment to further his knowledge, he obtained his master's and educational specialist degrees from the University of Central Missouri.
