Background Biography

The story of Scott is commonplace and spectacular at the same time.  Born to young parents and living in Oshawa as a child, Scott proclaims to growing up in Port Perry, Ontario, which during the 1980's was primarily a farming community expanding into a bedroom community for commuters from urbanized areas east of Toronto.  While it would seem that very little significantly unusual occurred during adolescence and through teenagehood, what did happen were key initial footsteps whereas, today at age 50, Scott often reflects upon many subsequent life events as manifests of verious earlier contingencies.  Very early on, Scott sensed a desire to create a legacy built on contributions to others; and despite a lack of plan or understanding how to manifest this sense into a reality, the 'magic' of life unfolded in a chain of events to create an invisible pathway leading to the unfurling of the vision.

Quiet, sometimes bullied, frequently feeling shy and awkward, but with a good sized record collection, Scott, with twin Steve, began a disk jocket service in September 1983 (age 14).  For the first two years, while still unable to drive Scott and twin brother Steve were shuttled between gigs by their parents.  It was during these early years that the shyness began to dissipate and the experience as a DJ grew helped establish a comfort in public speaking.

Without post-secondary education dreams or plans, or at least dreams Scott believed were available, Scott began working life in an electronics chain store and struggled for the first few months; however, in early 1989, a sales trainer took Scott under wing and shared many valuable lessons that Scott now works to share for the benefit of others.  From the early sales training assistance, along with reading of various sales and motivation books from the all-time greats such as Zig Ziglar, Joe Girard, Brian Tracy, Bob Proctor, among others, along with the winning of many company sales awards, a great confidence began to gain within Scott including a belief in the 'world is your oyster' of possibilities.  In time, Scott moved from selling electronics to automobiles to insurance to selling and delivering legal services to marketing services to coaching and training services.
