About our speaker...
Scott Parks, the son of a career military officer, was born at Fort Benning, Georgia where he lived a whole 6 weeks before his father was given orders to move to Amarillo, Texas. During his formative 18 years of receiving non-stop parental welfare Scott lived in Georgia, Texas, Alaska, Germany, and Kansas.
He attended three high schools as a teenager -- two of them in Europe --- and is a 1989 graduate of Lansing High School near Leavenworth. Scott always dreamed of having a career in radio and began his pursuit of that dream by attending the University of Nebraska in the Fall of 1989. That tour of duty lasted only one year before he transferred to the University of Kansas where he received a degree in Broadcast Journalism in May, 1994.
Scott's career began at a tiny radio station (KOFO) in Ottawa, Kansas where he served, literally, as a one man news department. After that it was off to KLWN in Lawrence before his arrival at KMBZ in February, 1997. Since then Scott has cut his teeth as a reporter, anchor, Assistant News Director, and now News Director. He has received scores of awards for his reporting from the Kansas Association of Broadcasters, the Missouri Broadcasters Association, and the Radio Television News Directors Association of America. He also earned a prestigious Edward R. Murrow Award in 2006.
In his spare time Scott enjoys hanging out with his two young daughters, playing soccer, and engaging in his endless pursuit of someday being a semi-decent drummer. He is an avid fan of all things musical and credits among his favorite acts: Thin Lizzy, Prince, Robert Cray, Eric Clapton, and a relatively obscure band known as the Marvelous 3.
Scott is a member of Knox Presbyterian Church in Overland Park and a volunteer coach with the Shawnee Soccer Club.

About SAFEHOME
It all began 30 years ago with a knock on a door and a compassionate woman who saw a need in her community. In 1980, founder Martha Hunt began a grassroots effort for a shelter in Johnson County. Meeting every Thursday night, this group of concerned citizens found that there was an unmet need, and it was great. As a result of these efforts, the Johnson County Association of Battered Persons was incorporated. Initially, the organization established a network of "safe homes" in private residents’ homes to provide safety and shelter to women and children fleeing domestic violence. Volunteers also took turns answering the crisis hotline when it was forwarded to their home phones.
In 1982, Martha and her small committee applied for and received a government grant, and used the funds for a down payment on a 118-year old house to be used as a shelter. In August of 1984, SAFEHOME shelter opened and was completely full the first night.
