after having two ankle surgeries. He recently competed in the East Jordan Triathlon in East Michigan where he finished in the top 3, first in his age group only to be eclipsed by two college students. Scout trains daily, and believes that no can outwork him. He finds triathlons to be the ultimate stress release and trains even in the Michigan “cold” winters. Scout has competed all over the world to include, Maine, Michigan, North Carolina and Canada. He has qualified for the Nationals which will be held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in August 2015, it’s his hearts desire to qualify for the World Team in his age a group. I believe he will achieve this goal and so much more because Scout uses every opportunity that is presented, not only to compete but to witness to others. The light of God shines through him wherever he goes. Scout strikes a balance in his life by first spending time with God daily and listening to God’s voice. He is a humble man who loves God and wishes to serve others. Although a staunch competitor, Scout’s priorities demonstrates what’s truly important to him: The Lord, his family, his church, his work and last but not least training. Whether pastoring, teaching or competing, Scout does not compromise the word of God and while he may not agree with the actions of others or certain political views he still finds a way to love all people and prays that his life may lead them to salvation. Scout, just like David is a man after God’s own heart. I wish him all the best at Nationals and on the World Team. www.simplyelevate.com 67
