Scott Wharton
Scott's hometown is the small rural
farming town of Amanda, Ohio, home of roughly
600 residents. Scott, his parents, Dick and
Nancy Wharton, and his sister Staryl are long
time residents of Amanda. From the time he was
a young child, Scott's family instilled in him
the values of integrity, hard
work, and perseverance. He learned these values
through interacting with the local community
while working at his family’s hardware store.

6th MAS flying C-141 Starlifters at McGuire Air
Force Base. He flew the 1985 TWA Hostage rescue
and then proudly served in Operation Desert
Storm. After 20 years of dedicated service he
retired from the USAF.
