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.
