Scott’s Bio

Scott Turkington was born in the quaint fishing town of Homer Alaska.  Growing up, Scott had no idea that the sense of adventure bestowed upon him by living in the “Last Frontier” would take him on so many amazing adventures later in life! Whether it was hiking to one of the many glaciers situated on Kachemak bay, or mountain biking a rugged trail carved out of the side of a mountain, there never seemed to be a limit on the amount of experiences one could have in this vast wilderness.

Through his early years Scott always had a love for the arts. He grew up sketching, painting, sculpting and creating art when ever he could. He always knew that someday his art would play a major role in his life.  After graduating with a degree in Multimedia and Web Design, he worked as a graphic designer for several years until finally being asked to work for an alternative fuel company founded by his cousin and co-host of What in the World, Charles Anderson.

Golden Fuel Systems, the company founded by Charles, converts diesel engines to run on used cooking oil from restaurants. Often times their job required that Scott and Charles travel to some exotic locations. Because of Scott’s background in Multimedia and Web Design he always had a camera on hand to capture and document anything exciting that might happen on their adventures. Soon they began acquiring a wealth of footage not only of the incredible places they traveled too but also of a variety of different technologies and subjects in the sustainable living field. Because of their desire to share the adventures they go on and what amazing technologies they’ve uncovered, it was time to take the footage and produce a show that the viewing public could see.

Being the camera man on What in the World, you might not see him on screen very much throughout the show but Scott is always right in the middle of all the action! Scott is also the producer, editor, script writer, graphic designer, and web designer of What in the World, which keeps him quite busy!

Together, with Charles leading the way and Scott not far behind him with camera in hand, they go where ever adventure might take them. They travel the globe in search of new locations and technologies in which to explore. Stay tuned because you never know where they’ll be or What in the World they might discover next!
