A teenage grave digger, a cop guarding nuclear weapons, an Air Force captain and weapon systems designer, a NATO command and control expert, a gemologist and master jeweler, a world-class computer systems analyst, CEO of a software company, consultant to DeBeers Diamond Consortium in South Africa, a diamond dealer, a navigator of the deep blue, a boat manufacturing consultant, a Himalayan mountain climber, a long-distance swimmer and runner, an earth wanderer and adventurer, Scott still searches for ways to expand his mind—and that of his readers, now that he has added author to his list of accomplishments.
Scott and his wife, Bobbie, write and cruise aboard Cruisin’ Skipper’s Dream on America’s waterways.
I'm delighted to announce that in addition to being a 2003 American Writers Award winner, my novel, Scorn THIS, has also been selected as a Quarter-Finalist in the novel/novella category of the New Century Writer Awards.
Birth Place: Limestone, ME USA
Accomplishments: 2003 American Writers Award winner. Bachelors Degree in computer science from the University of Maryland. Distinguished Graduate of Air Force Officers Training School. Meritorious Service Defense Medal. Married to an angel!
