Meet Walter Scott (Monticello Media's BIGGEST Tarheel fan!)

Walter was born and raised in Charlottesville and is a proud graduate of the Albemarle High School Class of 2000. He attended Shenandoah University in Winchester, Virginia and has also lived in Harrisonburg. Walter’s son, Walter Scott the 4th, was born on July 4, 2006 and “is an absolute joy to be around.”

Walter is a fan of music at its core, not just a particular genre; his mp3 player is filled with everything from Jay-Z to Quiet Riot to Jackson Browne. He enjoys sports and follows them religiously. Walter is a fan of the Buffalo Bills, Cleveland Indians and The North Carolina Tarheels. He also enjoys working out, playing softball, using his DVR to the fullest of its capabilities, a well constructed libation and laughing as hard and as often as possible.

Walter’s three favorite movies are Coming To America, Pulp Fiction, and Gladiator. His favorite quotes are:

“The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits.”- Einstein,

“The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.”- Samuel Johnson, and

“Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.” -Winston Churchill
