About Me

Football Player Turned Marathon Runner 

My name is Jon David Scott. Born in the mountains of Tennessee, I am now 25 years old and a graduate of East Tennessee State University. I am married and love spending time with my wife. I have been around sports my entire life. I played football growing up and started Fullback at Science Hill High School. I root for the Tennessee Volunteers in all colloge sports. When it comes to professional sports I root for New York City. I am a fan of the Yankees, Giants, Rangers, and yes the Knicks. The Yankees were the first New York team I rooted for when I was in Middle School. I have always liked the Rangers even though I did not follow Hockey for awhile. then I decided to root for the Giants and the Knicks. I enjoy other things in life too. I love history (which is what i got my degree in) and i love listening to U2.
