Scott
was born on August 6, 1950 in San Diego, California. He took
up weight training in his garage at a young age, with any
weights he could get his hands on. At one point, his mother
won bicycles for Scott and his siblings on a game show, and
Scott sold his to buy more weights. As a teen, Scott played
football and wrestled in highschool, and still holds the
school record for "fastest pin" (11 seconds).
Following school, Scott joined the Marines.
In
the early 1970's he entered the Mr. San Diego contest on a
dare, won the contest, and never looked back. Within 2 years,
he was Mr. America. He went on to win 1981 Mr. International,
and the 1983 Portland Grand Prix. Scott's combination of size
and symmetry made him one of the top competitors in the world
from the late 70's to mid 80's. His shoulders and triceps were
considered the best in the business.
Today,
Scott lives in northern California with his wife Vy and has 3
sons (Scott, Michael, and Erik). Contests include the 1983 Pro
World 5th; 1983 Grand Prix Portland 1st; 1983 Grand Prix
Colorado 6th; 1994 Masters Olympia 11th; 1999 Masters Olympia
10th; 2000 Masters Olympia 8th.
