He was often involved in confrontations with the cast as well as the members of the production crew.

Early Life:

Little is known about Scott’s early life other than the fact he grew up alongside his brother. Way before Scott decided to venture into the sea, he worked as a carpenter & a builder in Alaska. He later moved to the oil industry before heading toward the Bering Sea in search of gold.

Bering Sea Gold:

Scott Meisterheim was the first name on the list when plans for the reality TV series Bering Sea Gold were drawn. One of the most talented miners in business, Scott was assigned to the Wild Ranger. He captained the ship in the first season but moved to Anchor Management during the second season. He captained Anchor Management with the help of his best friend Todd Allen. However, things took a bad turn for Scott and Todd when Todd left the show mid-way through the season. Todd cited Scott’s drinking problem as a reason for leaving the show. As a result, Scott was checked into rehab and he spent the remaining of the season in rehab.

A bad turn:

Ever since Todd left the series during the second season, he had been on bad terms with the producers. Even while working on the series, Todd was constantly at the throat of his fellow cast members and would often fight with the crewmen. One of the most notable incidents of Scott’s temper was when he got in a fight with a fellow captain, Veron Adkison. As a result, Scott was viewed as a nuance by the cast and crew. His drinking habit added further problems and the series had no choice but to let Scott go.

However, according to Scott’s manager, his departure from the show was unrelated to his personality. And went on to open that network had already aired what they wanted of Scott’s story.

Brushing with the law:

Following the divorce from his wife in 2006, Scott was ordered to pay $502.89 monthly in child support. He was yet to pay a sum of $10,000 by July 2011. However, once he joined the reality TV show “Bering Sea Gold,” the star was on time to pay child support. In 2013 his ex-wife lost her job and was making minimum wages. Meanwhile, Scott had a good source of revenue, as a result, the court agreed to increase child support to $879.53. However, after Scott was let go from the show things got out of hand.

“(He) said he would be sending two large payments by the end of the month of September, but we haven’t heard from him since.”
