Scott is able to get across the human side of the cancer experience like you've never seen before! An award-winning comic and world champion juggler who has worked with Jay Leno and Louie Anderson, Scott shows the effectiveness of humor in the cancer battle. Laughter, passion and expressing humanity are tools to empower survivors (and medical professionals) which can open the door to not only healing, but loving life. Diagnosed with a high-grade osteo sarcoma in 1992, Scott has blended his worlds of comedy, juggling and an uplifting cancer story to provide a potent, needful message combined with nationally recognized entertainment. He has spoken as keynote for the Oncology Nursing Society's National Congress as well as the ACCC National Conference in Washington, D.C., clinical trials workshops for ASCO, the National Coalition of Cancer Survivor's 1st Congress, local ONS meetings throughout the country and survivor celebrations throughout North America.

It also offers first rate entertainment to break up a dry day of lectures Scott is the author of A Life in the Balance -- a refreshingly honest, funny and inspirational book on surviving cancer. He has written several articles published by Coping magazine, MGI Pharma's Comfort Zone and the pages of the Minneapolis StarTribune. He was also selected as a contributor to the next printing of Chicken Soup for the Surviving Soul. His unique fusion of stand-up comedy, world-class juggling and profound cancer stories makes for one of the most unusual, energetic and inspiring talks available to health care professionals and survivors alike.
