My career arc is a precision-designed, perfectly mapped trajectory of professionalism the definition of chaos theory.
At times, I’ve been called the following (among other things): student, manager, consultant, computer system administrator, entrepreneur, and a typing monkey trapped in the space between creativity and business.
The last one is perhaps the most accurate. I hold a B.A. in Creative Writing, a B.A. in Religious Studies, and an M.B.A.
I’m a writer, storyteller, and world builder. My author website is scottiswriting.com.
