Scott had his first boxing match in 1971, and began studying the art of boxing and martial arts through the next 12 years. He studied various styles of martial arts, and fought competitively for two years. Scott began training other fighters (both aspiring and professional) in the late 70's, and through the 90's. Several of those he trained went on to win regional and national championships.

Scott has competed and personally trained others in many sports. Though he is not formally certified he has special skills in working with a broad range of people from those just beginning to exercise to those in outstanding physical condition. He is considered very patient, but can be tough when needed. Scott believes that exercise is more than working the body. He teaches that proper exercise involves what Scott calls the "full body" body, mind, and spirit. He believes that each of these parts of the human experience is equally important when exercising.

Scott has climbed 21, 14,000 foot mountains, and attempts to climb Longs Peak at least once per year (his best time up and down is 5 hours).

Tidbit: Scott was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 1971, the same year he began boxing. He is without any form of secondary complication which he attributes to the A.M.E.N.D. Life program that he formally created in 1990 and now teaches along the front-range.
