About Scott
Scott Lee - July 2010
Born 1988 in Houston, Texas, I spent much of my early years playing with action figures in elaborate live action role playing games. I was one of those very young children that believed that magic was real at one time, that things like “The Force” from the StarWars saga were possible, and that the world was filled with true wonder. The true source of my initial creative inspiration was probably my older brothers, Michael and Jeremy. Jeremy, in particular, is currently working in the film industry. We would create very in depth stories to play, mostly based on the mainstream comic books of the 1990’s, stuff like Batman, Superman, Todd McFarlane’s Spawn, and so on. This is really what gave rise to my love of storytelling, the writing of my first stories, and even my first book. Storytelling probably got me through childhood, because much of the time I was perplexed about a little thing called existence. Most people will tell you I’ve always been a bit different.
When it all comes down to it, I’m an artist and always will be. Raised as a Christian, I eventually shifted to the beliefs of Religious Science and finally settled on a more general pantheistic sort of philosophy that resembles a spiritually practical form of atheism. So what am I? Overall, I’m atheist. After the first portion of my life has been spent on pondering the meaning of life and existence, I’ve since turned my attention to using that knowledge to practically advance through life.
It has taken quite a while to kind of sort out all of the different creative desires I have into different places that fit and belong, but I think I may be able to say that now I am very close to doing so. In December of 2002, I joined a film group with a friend of mine, which later became a company that we would co-found together, Barton Ct. Productions Inc. Barton Ct. is where you will find virtually anything film related I am involved in. Since 2002, I have bought the majority of the production company and its primarily viewed intellectual property is the Barton Police Online Comedy Series.
The company was incorporated May of 2006, and also that same year I began a project of my own, Dirty Mechanism Apparel, a brand of clothing suited to the creative, smart, sexy individual. Dirty Mechanism Apparel consisted primarily of t-shirts shipped from an on-demand printing service. From April 2006 until late 2009, the clothing brand successfully brought in thousands of dollars for me in profit but has since been shut down so that I can pursue other endeavors. CafePress.com also cut its commission structure, which caused incoming revenues to be reduced in some cases by over 90%.
Early in 2007, Scott Free Thinking was launched, a personal development blog where I hope to make the core of my personal business helping others improve the quality of their lives through self improvement, introspection, and tools for accelerative learning and self growth.
Since 10 years old, I have always been actively involved with music. I was lead into the world of music by my older brother Jeremy, similar to my love of storytelling, and learned to play the drums during this time. Several years later, I can now play guitar and I am developing a singing & vocal ability. My favorite band for the longest time was Creed, but after Creed broke up my favorite band then became Korn.
