Film –>Film about Scott’s passion for multisport

A Southern California kid that now lives in Scandinavia. Scott grew up with dreams of being the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys and while he did a decent job tossing around the pigskin at Coronado High School, his dreams have evolved. His fascination with global environmental problems drove him to study environmental science at Duke University, where he also drove the recycling truck around campus. Following graduation he landed an environmental consulting job in Boston, Mass, but only after spending the summer on his mountain bike for three months, riding from Mexico to Canada.

He soon discovered endurance racing and a new fascination evolved: how long and how far can the body go?

A fateful adventure race in Scandinavia in 2004 sent him to Sweden, where he started EnviroEconomics Sweden consultancy (2007) and completed a PhD in environmental economics (2012). As a consultant Scott works to make the value of nature more visible for public and private decision-makers. Read more att eesweden.com.

From 2005-2014 Scott competed on a top level in endurance racing, including several Adventure Racing World Championships  (ARWC) with, among others, AXA Adventure Team and Thule Adventure Team. He has competed in New Zealand’s C2C three times.

From 2016-2019 he was co-race director for the Åre Extreme Challenge, a 5 hour multisport race involving whitewater paddling, trail running, and mountain biking in Northern Sweden (that first started in 1997). He has competed over 8 times, winning in 2012.

In the summer of 2018, just 10 days before organizing ÅEC, Scott and his wife were blessed with an amazing little daughter that they named Alma May…

Today Scott splits his time between environmental consulting, coaching, speaking, training, being a dad and taking care of the trails in the woods near his house on Sweden’s West Coast. His continued  interest in his feet — and how decades of running in  “narrow and padded” shoes have deformed them — has led him to run exclusively in minimal shoes from Vivobarefoot.  If you want to know more, check out his 1-on-1 coaching here or his slide show.

Scott is less active on social media these days, but you can follow some past and current adventures on his Facebook and Instagram pages.   You can also read past stories of glory on blog – everything from racing in China and New Zealand to a battle with overtraining syndrome.
