So, WHO is this guy Senator-Elect Scott Brown? Here's the scoop...!


So who is this new American Political Superstar named Scott Brown? 

He  won the historic Senate campaign tonight in  the Commonwealth of Massachusetts

Frankly, Hollywood couldn't write a script like this one.  This guy seems like the "real deal." 

Heck, even I am impressed, and not to many politicians really impress me.

Brown is a champion long-distance runner, bicyclist and swimmer. He has won several awards and trophies competing in triathlons and duathlons, but on account of an intense schedule he cut back from frequent exercising during his 2009-2010 Senate campaign.

He has also played basketball since a young age; he was a senior co-captain at Wakefield High School, earning there the title of Middlesex League MVP, and he continued on in the sport at Tufts University as well. It was at Tufts that he acquired his sports-nickname of "Downtown Scotty Brown, where he was known for his long outside jumpshots."


In June 1982, Brown, then a 22-year-old law student at Boston College, posed without clothes in a Cosmopolitan centerfold as the winner of the magazine's "America’s Sexiest Man" contest. In its interview with him, he referred to himself as "a patriot" and stated that he had political ambitions.

Brown has also worked as an actor in his early career, appearing in a variety of television commercials.

Brown is married to WCVB-TV reporter Gail Huff; they have two daughters, Ayla Brown, an American Idol semi-finalist and star basketball player at Boston College, and Arianna Brown, a competitive equestrian and pre-medical student at Syracuse University.


The couple owns a 3,000-square-foot primary home, a second home in Rye, New Hampshire home, three small rental units in Boston, and a timeshare on the Caribbean island of Aruba. They live in Wrentham, Massachusetts.

Brown and his family are Protestant Christians, and worship at New England Chapel in Franklin, a member of the Christian Reformed Church in North America.

They also have a relationship with an order of Cistercian Catholic nuns at Mt. St. Mary’s Abbey in Wrentham. The Brown family has raised over $5 million for the Order, helping to install solar panels, a wind turbine and a candy manufacturing plant that the order operates. Sister Katie McNamara has said of the family, "we pray for them every day".
