AS A PART TIME BIOGRAPHER, I HAVE BEEN BLESSED TO WRITE BIOGRAPHIES FOR MANY CELEBRITIES AND FAMOUS PEOPLE. I'M SURE EVERYONE REMEMBERS "SQUEEZE PLAY" THE BIOGRAPHY OF MR. WHIPPLE THE CHARMIN TISSUE MAN. AND "THESE HANDS" ABOUT THE HANDS OF HORCACE MILLER, USED IN THE ORIGINAL ALLSTATE INSURANCE GOOD HANDS COMMERCIALS. AS WELL AS "CLARENCE THE FORGOTTEN CHIPMUNK", WHOM BECAUSE OF HUGE CONFLICTS WITH ALVIN AND THEODORE WAS DROPPED FROM THE SINGING GROUP AND WENT ON TO BECOME ADDICTED TO HAZEL NUTS.THESE ARE JUST A FEW AMONG MANY OTHERS. 

SO WHEN A POKER ASSOCIATE APPROACHED ME ABOUT HIS BIOGRAPHY, I I THOUGHT WTF OR IN LAYMANS TERMS, YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! BUT AFTER A COUPLE OF  BEERS(6) WHICH HE PURCHASED, I AGREED TO RESEARCH THE IDEA. AFTER A LITTLE INFO AND THE POSSIBILTIES OF AQUIRING A FEW MORE BEERS, I AGREED TO PROCEED WITH A MORE INDEPTH EFFORT.  

WELL, AGAINST MY BETTER JUDGEMENT, LET ME INTRODUCE YOU TO SCOTT "THE NATURAL BORN WILDCHILD". 

SCOTT WAS ALWAYS A FREE SPIRIT, WHERE HE EXCELLED AT EVERYTHING HE TRIED. HE WAS SO ADVANCED IN SCHOOL THAT HE HARDLY WENT TO CLASS. WHEN IT WAS TIME TO PICK A CARREER, THE GUIDANCE COUNSELOR, SEEING HIS AMAZING ABILITY TO ANYLIZE HOW THINGS AND PEOPLE WORK, SUGGESTED 3 POSSIBILITES FOR HIS FUTURE. FIRST THERE WAS NUCLEAR SCIENTIST, SECOND WAS PRIVATE DETECTIVE. AND THIRD WAS VENTILIQUIST DUMMY. FOLLOWING HIS TRUE NATURE, HE CHOSE OPTION 3 AND JOINED THE MILITARTY. AFTER A LESS THAN LACKLUSTER CARREER IN THE SERVICE, HE RETURNED TO CIVILIAN LIFE, AND CONTINUED WITH HIS DEVIL MAY CARE LIFESTYLE.

FATE WAS NOT  KIND TO SCOTT. AS HE DOVE INTO A POOL OF WATER, HE ENDED UP PARALIZED FROM THE WASTE DOWN. AND THIS COULD BE THE END OF THE STORY FOR MOST PEOPLE, BUT NOT FOR SCOTT. AFTER A PERIOD OF DEPRESSION, WITH SCOTT BEING AN AVID FISHERMAN HE WAS ABLE TO FIND A BALANCE IN HIS MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL LIFE. IT WAS SOMETHING HE LOVED AND EXCELED AT. HE  HAS WON MANY AWARDS INCLUDING 2 BOATS IN  FISHING COMPETITIONS. SCOTT IS ALWAYS A FORCE ON THE WATER, WHEN THE FISH SEE HIM, THEY SWIM AWAY AS FAST AS THEY CAN. BESIDES FISHING, SCOTT CAN COMPLETELY OVERHAUL A CAR MOTOR AND RESTORE AN OLD FOSSIL INTO A USEABLE CLASSIC. HE HAS COMPLETELY REPAINTED HIS TRUCK AT LEAST TWICE, AND WHEN IT COMES TO CARS THERE IS VERY LITTLE HE CAN NOT FIGURE OUT. HE CAN PRETTY MUCH FIX ANYTHING GIVEN ENOUGH TIME, HIS LAST CHALLENGE WAS A GOLF CART THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN SENT FOR RECYCLING. AFTER REWIRING AND REPLACING MOST OF THE PARTS, IT ROLLED OUT OF HIS GARAGE READY FOR A SECOND LIFE OF SERVICE. SCOTT IS NOT FAST, HOW COULD HE BE, BUT ONCE HE STARTS A PROJECT, IT IS A GOOD BET HE WILL FINISH IT. GARDENING, REFINISHING FURNITURE,AND REBUILDING A DECK ARE JUST A FEW OF THE PROJECTS SCOTT HAS TAKEN ON LATELY, AS WELL AS RUNNING A QUALITY POKER TOURNAMENT EVERY WEEK. JUST LIKE BATMAN HAS ROBIN, AND THE LONE RANGER HAS TONTO, SCOTT'S KEMOSABEE IS SUSAN. SHE IS ABOUT AS GOOD AS SCOTT ON ALOT  OF THE PROJECTS, AND GIVES HIM ANOTHER SET OF HANDS AND EYES. LIVING THROUGH HER CHRONIC PAIN SHE IS INDISPENSABLE FOR HER COURAGE AND ATTITUDE AND ABILITIES.

I DON'T WANT YOU TO THINK SCOTT IS A SAINT, FOR HE IS NOT. HE HAS FLAWS AND FAILURES JUST LIKE EVERYONE. IF YOU WANT TO COME AND WHINE TO SCOTT, DON'T BOTHER. HIS TOUGH LOVE ATTITUDE MAY GET YOU A WHEELCHAIR ARM IN YOUR FACE. BUT IF YOU NEED A TRUE FRIEND, YOU WON'T FIND ANY BETTER. I AM HONORED HE CONSIDERS ME A FRIEND. 

I HAVE BEEN ASKING SCOTT FOR PICTURES FOR THE VIDEO FOR OVER A YEAR, HE GAVE ME A FEW, BUT NOT NEAR ENOUGH TO FINISH THE VIDEO. SO I HAVE SECRETLY BEEN FOLLOWING SCOTT, TAKING PICTURES OF SOME OF HIS DAILY ACTIVITIES AND I HAVE INCLUDED THEM IN THE VIDEO.

STAY SAFE AND SANE

UNTIL NEXT TIME
