Dr. Scott Mclaren

Dr. Scott grew up in Idaho and from an early age, people knew he was different. For one, he didn’t want to grow up farming potatoes, as much as he liked to eat them. Second, he enjoyed learning about medical stuff. I know, how weird huh. One thing he did enjoy growing up was operating heavy equipment for his grandpa’s construction company. When most kids were driving sports cars on their PlayStation, he was driving a 65-thousand-pound loader or a giant haul truck. He may have smashed a few traffic cones while learning how to operate them though. Growing up in a tiny town in a forgotten state (ya, Idaho is a real State), he loved the small town feel and the sense of community it had. He grew up hunting, fly-fishing, boating, hiking, dirt biking and basically all things outdoors in the mountains of his home state. With the likes of Yellowstone National Park and Jackson Hole just a few hours from his house, there was no shortage of adventure.
