Born and raised on Miami Beach, FL, I lived on North Bay Road 5 houses from the first house on Miami Beach (filmed in the movie Murad The Surf) that castle house front entrance was on the bay side as there were no roads at that time. The bee Gees and Anita Bryant lived down the street from me. My back yard was Biscayne Bay so I had a boat, scuba dive and water skied. I had my first job at age 11 after school and on Saturday at Ardmore Studio's on 41st near the I-95 Entrance. There I learned to take Portraits, Develop the Negative & Print the black and White Photo's. I had my own Dark Room at my house at age 12. My next job was Modern Drug Store where I stocked shelves and help the pharmacist count out pills. The next job was Mr Chips Deli where a guy named Izzy thought me how to be a deli man, making sandwiches, carving lox, making cream cheese and veggies/ & lox and other deli chores. Then I got a job at a Cabinet shop for Stanley Sieden sanding and finishing cabinets. When the boss was gone I would take the cut list and knock out all the wood for the day. He caught on something was different because not only were the cuts done but some cabinets had been built too! Nobody would say it was me. Stanley waited across the street truck out of sight and proceeded with binoculars to catch me doing the other men's work. He did the quality had also improved! After that job I worked at age 15 for Jerry Gross a developer who had me assist him while building a large home community in West Fort Lauderdale called Greentree Estates, he Evan let me drive his car around on the massive property to check on the crew's. That was a lot of fun for me as I knew how to build watching my dad tinker with everything. The next job was Soldering Circut Boards for a government contractor where at a young age I had to get official clearance and background check. At 15 I bought my first motorcycle and at 16 my first car. I started a company Scott Singer Installations and started driving to customers houses after school and weekends and installed Radios, CB's, Alarms and big Amps and Speakers. This went on until 1981 where I Incorporated Scott Singer Installions, Inc. I have to back track a bit, so in 1977 I went to Truck Driving School Miami Lakes Vocational and got a Chauffeurs License to drive Tractor Trailers which is now called a CDL that I still have current today. Somewhere around 1977-78 I went to Miami Dade Community Collage with a major in Child Psychology. I was very good at that and carried a 3.5 gpa only brought down to that score because of the boring classes I also had. My mother was a Famous Interior Designer winning awards and traveling the world designing, in fact I found out just a few years ago from a friend that her design methods were being taught in a GA Design School. I worked helping her by doing all the CAD layouts and started building for her clients in 1981. Just prior to that O worked doing the same work for the contractor already doing her work while I went to collage, his name was Jim Craddock (don't remember his spelling). Over the years I continued buying and building motorcycles by modifying them to what style I liked. In 1983 I Built the first Monster Lifted Street Legal Pickup Truck called Insta-Gator with a vertical Alligator wearing a Cowboy Hat , Boots and a Sawgrass in his mouth. This was the only working 4x4 with 18 shocks and 4 steering stabilizer's. The Truck made the News in Miami! I went on to build more Insta-Gator Trucks but not lifted like the first one. **********I will finish the Bio soon!
