Scott Hanson

Scott Hanson was one of probably just a dozen babies born to mothers in Soldier, Iowa in 1961. The city leaders, staring down the double barrel of Scott's intellect and talent, quickly realized his educational requirements would demand the cooperation of neighboring Moorhead, Iowa. Thus the consolidated East Monona Community School District was formed with just 3 years to spare.

As one of only twenty three students in his grade, Scott met the rigorously enforced "warm body" requirement of the Act Club and took to the stage for school productions. At the same time, the student newspaper beckoned, and Scott committed forced entry on the world of print journalism. Next stop, broadcasting! It all began at a small, 10 watt radio station in Sioux City, IA.

Morningside College's KMSC (Your Big Friend in the Midwest with the 10 Watt Arms) offered Scott the first opportunity to embarrass himself in front of a sizable group of people efficiently. Soon, he was being paid to put on make up and say true things at KCAU-TV, while completing college. Resettling in Raleigh to begin a video marketing company, Scott was shooting an audition as a favor for a friend when she suggested he her agent since casting directors believe former news people to have the range and depth needed to play news people.

He did, and they do.
