His style
Scott's writing emphasizes the excitement of motorcycling, intriguing sights, history and culture, and the personal encounters he has while on the road. Frequently he uses his platform to serve as an ambassador for the riding community, sharing stories about advanced rider education, donating motorcycle helmets for first-responder training, engaging with the non-motorcycling public, and channeling support from motorcyclists to worthwhile causes.
More than motorcycling
Scott has covered finance and investing, industrial technology, higher education, art, music, sports cars, brewing, and mental health. He's written investor education, feature articles, guidance for college selection, executive speeches and bylines, white papers, employee communications, donor relations, and more. Clients across North America, Europe and Australia know him as Scott Williams, the Wordsmith.
That nickname
Scott has carried the moniker 'Bones' from a young age, owing to a slender build, which he retains. Friends from childhood, college, hockey, and motorcycling call him Bones. His nieces and nephews call him Uncle Bones. His parents named him Scott, but people all over call him Bones.
