About the Author

Success was not destined to be in Dr. Scott’s future. There were too many excuses at his fingertips! He was born into a poor family with a father who completed one year of elementary school and a mother with two. He was the first one in his immediate family to complete high school. He has a B.S. degree in engineering-physics, a master’s degree in physics and a Ph.D. in education and physics. He also has post doctorate studies from the University of North Carolina School of Business and the Harvard University School of Education/Business. He was first employed as a NASA space radiation physicist working with the original seven astronauts at Langley Field, Virginia. Later, he served as professor and head of a physics department at a college in Tennessee. He worked with a world famous heart surgeon in St. Louis, Missouri. He was president of a college at the age of 33 and served as president of three different colleges over a period of 19 years. He attributes his success to walking a “well-worn-path” of the stepping stones presented in this book and Divine Guidance. The teacher within him gives advice freely and with great love as he himself is BLESSED BEYOND BELIEF. Today, he lives with his wife in Johnson City, Tennessee.
