I have made a post something like this before about Scott. Scott and I have worked together in the past and we have had our fair share of fights and differences of opinion. Not too long ago I had something going on in my life that I only told a few people about, and Scott was one of them. I have no idea why I told Scott as we were not really good friends we just knew each other. From that time on I saw a side of Scott that has really shocked me, on the inside he is not the bad ass that some think or thought including myself. He is a nice guy who cares about other people and will go out of his way to try and help others. I am not sure if this helps you or not but scott is a good guy but he can also piss you off.He likes spiders![]()
At around 14 to 15 Scott got the bug. This was at Don Mcoy's pool hall in Des moines called Encounters. my ex girlfriend was best friends with his mom, Diane. Scott was not real good initially. but this kid would play anyone, anytime, and lose most of the time with varying spots. He at that time would go int rages of fit, talking shit and being the butt of jokes from most. But daily and before ours eyes he kept playing and playing and the jokes quickly dissipated. I went (he was maybe 16) from spotting him the 7 out to getting a spot in one year. But most still looked at him as hothead fool. But not all of us. He improved daily, would gamble with anyone and now is under the wing of Donny Mccoy. Another year or so passes and he announces he's going on the road, with still not that many believers. I told him I'd see him on ESPN soon one day, and he just lit up. And after that he did show up in the booth with Mitch Lawrence and Allen Hopkins. I recalled thinking Hopkins would cut him off whenever he was trying to talk to Mitch about the pool match. So the next time he's in Des Moines I asked him about that. He laughed hard and said Hopkins hates me cuz iv'e been spanking him in ihole,(giving him some obscene spot). Once while he was 15 he snuck out of his house, took Diane's car keys, and drove up to encounters to gamble and play pool. It was a weeknight around 11;00 pm, and then thru the door comes mom with smoke ringing out her ears, Diane pushes me out of the way, grabs his cherished pool cue and snaps it over her knee. "He's just plaing pool" I said, no drugs or drinking, as if it was ok to steal her car. She said i'll talk to you later and we all laughed. But that was his passion. A loose cannon who has known since then what he wanted. A funny, warm person who is fun to be around. When we talk about confidence in pool, and the mental approach one needs, Scott ipitomizes that. Back in the day, in our 9 ball tourneys if he would miss he more than likely would give you the game , even if you had 5, 6, 7 balls left. Funny stuff. He once found himself in front of the Judge, seeking a work permit to travel across state lines. "what do you do son" the judge asked. "I'm a professional pool player scott said, probaly 17 at the time. "Sure you are" the judge said, "we all are". Scott laughed.

That is not funny.![]()
He sucked in basketball
He recently (a few months back) quit drinking and got more "serious" about his pool.
I'd say more is known about him than most other players. What players are a lot known about?It doesnt seem like a lot is known about him. does anyone know what he is like as a person? just curious.
