Scott Benjamin Remer was born on November 19, 1993 in Cleveland, Ohio and now resides in Beachwood, Ohio with his parents, his brother Alex, and his cats Kinsman and Cleo.
He is in twelfth grade and has a very demanding class load, with classes like Calculus III, Mandarin Chinese, AP English, and AP Physics C. After school, he can be found at Ecology Club, Academic Challenge, debate, and Science Olympiad. He enjoys volunteering in many venues and spends his spare time with his family and friends.
Since the Bee, Scott has participated in and won many competitions. He especially likes entering essay contests. Words of Wisdom is his first book, but it will probably not be his last. He is not sure where he would like to attend college or what he will major in, although political science and linguistics are fairly good bets.
Scott was always a superlative speller, and his mother asked the Beachwood school system to participate in the regional Plain Dealer spelling bee for Northeast Ohio. He won in 2007 and went to the National Spelling Bee and placed 34th. In 2008, he placed 4th. To read his account of the experience, check out his blog at:
After aging out, Scott spent the next fourteen months writing Words of Wisdom. If he hadn't aged out, he would still be trying to win that coveted trophy!
