Scott McCloud (technical creator of Newell Gurus) - encantotom - 07-30-2021

I wanted to pay a tribute to my son Scott.  When we decided to create Newell Gurus in 2012, he was the one who set up the servers, did all the real technical work and has maintained and done so for the past 9 years.  he is so far behind the scenes that most of you dont even know it.  Scott is an Electrical Engineer with 2 masters degrees.  A few gurus know scott and suggested that i post this about him on the forum and i am glad to do so.  

Not only that, he is a husband to Shelby and father to our amazing grand daughter Ivy. 

He is one of the brightest men i know and most of all he serves us in the United States Air Force.

Yesterday, Darlene and I were able to attend his promotion to Major ceremony in the USAF.  Hearing him take the oath of office from his Colonel was incredibly inspiring and made us proud.  I spent 6 years in the air force in my younger days and to see Scott do so well is so cool

He is behind the scenes fixing and monitoring our servers and software all the time.   yea, i formatted the site and do the simple stuff along with our admins, but he is the real guy who takes care of things.  

In all this world of craziness, it was nice to be in a room of patriots who love and value our country and freedom and help protect it.

Scott, I love and am proud of you..

Dad/Tom

Congratulations Scott, the best to you and your family.

Your work on this forum is so appreciated by many in the Newell family, it has helped me in so many ways since I became a Newell owner just 1 yr ago. I had a slide issue 3 days after I picked up the coach and here's Steve Magown helping me out and a few weeks later helping me with my ATS...I guess now that Steve has gone to the dark side I'll have to hope your Dad will help me out....LOL....actually your Dad was on the phone helping me with my steps not going up about 6 months ago. I did what he told me and he got me back on the road. Hopefully my wife and I can get down to Arizona and meet in person, I'm always good for a cup of coffee!

Once again Thank You for what you do and Congratulations!!!!
