Scott Darragh
Scott Darragh is an MSP-based 737 airline captain, former U.S. Army helicopter pilot, aviation officer, who holds a BS in history and journalism from Washington State University. Also an entrepreneur, Scott is the founder of Jet Set Trainer, an online fitness and nutrition coaching company helping pilots, frequent flyers, and high-performing professionals transform their health where cookie-cutter solutions have failed those with high-flying lifestyles.
When he’s not at 36,000 feet or coaching clients, you can find him country two-steppin' with his wife Kristen, exploring new beachy destinations, especially where freediving is involved, training Winston, his corgi in his backyard agility course, or cooking an extravagant, over-the-top, plant-based feast. Scott and his wife are excited for the arrival of their first child in January 2026.
More information about his company can be found at jetsettrainer.com. You may email Scott at [email protected].
