Scott PariseauBorn in Minneapolis, Scott Pariseau was raised on the southwestern Minnesota prairie. After moving to Oregon for a year, he has since lived most of his life in various places on Colorado's Front Range and Western Slope, with a brief one-year interlud in Oklahoma. His first jobs while young included working for farmers baling hay, picking rocks from fields, hand-pulling cockleburs and thistles from corn and bean fields, cleaning hog barns - he remembers that his first job was picking up corn cobs blown down in fields in an Autumn storm and was paid 20 cents an hour, and that he was so small he could barely carry the heavy bucket of corn. He also mowed lawns, worked in a grocery store, pumped gas, and performed other odd jobs while young. Later, he spent a career in the publishing industry, as an assistant vice president for a scholarly book publisher, typographer and book designer, editor and proofreader, production manager, computer systems manager for book production, customer service and sales for printing companies, and even had a brief stint as a museum curator. For the last decade, he has worked in the natural foods industry. He has returned to the Front Range of Colorado and for the last eight years has lived again in the Boulder area with his treasured companions - wonder cat Pippin, Shelties Bronwen and Anachie, Afghan Hound Spyder-Mae, and various English Trumpeter and homing pigeons.
