Scott's life took a dramatic turn on November 3, 1984 when he was involved in a horrendous accident while a passenger in his friend's car. His buddy escaped injury, but the accident left Scott paralyzed from the chest down and diagnosed a quadriplegic.
Despite this grim prognosis, Scott stood up this challenge. To survive, beat the odds and put himself in a position to thrive and achieve the extraordinary, Scott took accountability for what happened! Then he realigned his mindset and embraced this paralyzing irrevocable change and forged forward with all the grit he could muster. Over time, this unstoppable attitude paid unbelievable dividends!
Scott started achieving goals in his rehabilitation that few doctors thought possible. Within a year of being paralyzed and regaining some mobility, Scott enrolled back into college, earned a degree in finance and upon graduation, Scott sought a career which would give him a lasting and meaningful impact in people's lives, an agent in the insurance and financial industry. He joined Northwestern Mutual and specialized in life and disability insurance planning in both the individual and business markets. As he grew his practice he started teaming up with his peers & mentors and began tackling the wealth and estate planning markets. In his fifth year he qualified for the prestigious Million Dollar Round Table, a 100% commission driven award that less than 8% of agents worldwide achieve yearly.
In 1994, Scott made the gut-wrenching decision to leave a hugely successful career in an industry he had so much passion for to welcome a new life changing opportunity to team up with his brother Mark. Together they founded Global Golf Group, an international company that markets custom blended fertilizers, chemicals and golf equipment to golf courses in Southeast Asia. Their enterprise continues to thrive today.
Scott married his beautiful fiancé, Mona in 2002 and in 2011 they formed G-Force International, a company designed to offer educational resources to inspire different age groups around the world. It was her encouragement after they married that inspired Scott to share his inspiring story with the world. A story that will inspire anyone to take a meaningful risk to stand up to any challenge in both their personal and professional lives!
