Scott Butki was a newspaper reporter for more than 10 years before making a career change into education... then into special education.

He is an in-house media critic, a recovering Tetris addict and a proud uncle.
He has written articles on everything imagineable and has contemplated creating Scottipedia (his version of wikipedia)
