Scott Hogsett was born in Spokane, WA where he studied sports and partying. At the early age of 19, Scott was involved in an accident that rendered him a C-5/ C-6 quadriplegic. After the accident, Scott wanted to further his education and better himself, so he chose to move to Phoenix, AZ and attend Arizona State University. There he majored in recreational therapy, completing his bachelor's degree in 2000. Scott now focuses his time playing wheelchair rugby for Team USA and the Phoenix Heat.
When Scott's not playing rugby, he works as a peer-mentor visiting various Phoenix hospitals. He recently married the woman of his dreams in Maui, Hawaii. Scott's hobbies include training (hand-cycling, lifting weights, swimming), playing Texas Hold-em, traveling, and spending as much free-time with his wife as possible.
Although Scott still resides in AZ, he spends the summers training in the beautiful Northwest at Couer d'Alene lake. Scott looks forward to the future and hopes for the chance at winning the Gold in Beijing, China in 2008.
