Full Profile

2008, Scott was involved in a motorbike accident that changed his life and left him with life long disabilities. Scott’s biggest daily battle is the damage he did to his brain. The frontal lobe damage has affected his high executive function skills and caused semi paralysis, which has had a major impact on his stability. This was caused from multiple skull fractures that required a facial reconstruction, which has left him with 10 titanium plates holding it together.

As well as double vision from the brain injury, he has a Brachial Plexus injury to his right arm involving three severed nerves.
