Scott is from the United States but has been living in Jakarta, Indonesia, for the last four and a half years. He’s married with two young children and works in the mining industry.
He was a big child, but came into his own when he played football and wrestled at school and college. Sadly Scott suffered a knee injury and, after two operations, he stopped training... which is when the kilos began to pile on.
He now has problems getting around and his weight is wearing hard on his heart and knees. Scott also has problems fitting into airplane seats and moving around at work. He desperately wants to be able to lose weight, not only to be around for his wife and children, but to participate in sports and activities. “Enjoying your kids, enjoying the outdoors, enjoying activities. That's really what I miss doing,” said Scott.
Scott’s background in athletics is very strong and could most definitely pose a threat to the other contestants. He is extremely competitive and a natural leader. Almost fluent in Bahasa Indonesia, Scott's background in politics will see him become a mediator in the house. He is determined to win the show and set a good example for his children.
