Meet the Manager
Welcome to AmeriCU!
I’m Scott Morgan, manager of AmeriCU’s Fort Drum Financial Center. I am originally from South Bend, Indiana, but I have lived in the North Country off and on since 1992. I’m a Veteran of the United States Army, serving with the 2nd Infantry Division in Korea, 7th Infantry Division in Ft. Ord, CA and 10th Mountain Division at Fort Drum, NY. I have over 17 years experience in finance, and I am currently on the Board of the Lewis County Chamber of Commerce, Treasurer for the Watertown Board of Certified Football Officials, and Advisory Board Member for Mercy Point.
In my spare time, I love to take my family camping, cook, spend time in the outdoors, read, and officiate football.
