About

188Welcome to my website. I’ve created this blog to give friends, family, and strangers a chance to peek into my somewhat ordinary life. If you’ve made it this far I’m guessing you might know me. If not, here’s a few details about my life.

First and and foremost, my name is Scott Howell and I’m happily married to my wonderful wife Lindsey. I’m a Christian and it is my hope to use this blog as a tool to testify the Truth to all who are willing to come and read. Lindsey and I are anxiously awaiting to adopt and bring home our first child from the Ukraine in the Fall of 2010. It is my goal to use this blog as a tool to document the entire experience.

As for my interests, I’m an avid fan of computers, technology, and video games. I currently work in the marketing department at a company in Columbus. In my free time I enjoy working on websites and playing a few rounds of golf on my Wii. I’m also a big fan of Mortal Kombat. In 1998 I co-founded the world’s largest fan site dedicated to the game – Mortal Kombat Online.

Writing is a huge passion of mine. I started blogging when I graduated high school and it has been fun to record so many memories throughout the years. It would not be possible however without the help of my friends Scott Bishop and Joseph Schorr, who have generously allowed me to host this site on the MKO Server.

If after reading through this site and you find you still have questions, please feel free to email me anytime at scott@scotthowell.ws.

Enjoy your stay!
