In my teens to be a boxing promoter, I was a
big Don King fan.
First job: I had two jobs when I was
14. One was working for the Seminole Tribe
in a concession stand twice a week selling
hot dogs. I loved it! It was at the old
Seminole Village and Rodeo Grounds, where
the Hard Rock sits today. The other was in
maintenance, cleaning up a racquetball and
health club after school. It was called The
Bodycenter and owned by Walt Lambert of
Northeast Promotions. He was great to work
for. Funny, my first two bosses and I all
ended up in the boxing business.

Mexican Food.

Ben and Jerry's.
Funny Boxing Memory: The first time I
met my first fighter Mitch "Blood" Green. He
asked me if I had at least $5,000 in the
bank. When I said yes, he said OK, you my
manager. He also nicknamed me Scotty "The
Body." Mitch always cracks me up [smiles].
Most treasured possession: My family
photos. I hate posing for pictures but love
looking at pictures of my kids at Disney,
first day of school, last day of school,
everything they do.
Biggest Sports Thrill: Watching my
son Josh win a gold medal at the World
Racquetball Championships and watching him
win a bronze at the Junior Olympics. I am so
proud of him.
People Quality Most admired: A sense
of humor. I love to laugh! |
