He spent 22 years at the AJC as an editor and reporter, covering such topics as community news, and pro, college and high school sports. He was an award-winning outdoors writer with the AJC. A journalism major at Troy University, he has skiied with former President Jimmy Carter, spent too much time in sweaty locker rooms, and even wrote about whether fish feel pain (he still doesn't know).

Scott Bernarde grew up in Rothschild, Wis., the fourth of five children. He played sports for as long as he can remember, competing in track, football and basketball at D.C.

He attended Troy State University (now Troy University) and has been a Southerner since 1982. He is an avid Green Bay Packer fan and outdoors enthusiast.
