Scott's Bio

I’m the co-founder of this site and help run a group called Ben’s Friends (www.BensFriends.org) that builds patient support networks for people with rare conditions. I do this cause I love it. I’ve met so many wonderful friends on this journey.


It all started when my buddy, Ben Munoz, had a stroke caused by a rare condition called AVM. Ben survived but during recovery he couldn’t find a support group…so he started one called AVMSurvivors.org. We realized we were helping a lot of people so we started many more. Today we run 30 online support groups and are growing rapidly, thanks to the wonderful volunteer moderators that help manage the communities.


Find out more about Ben’s Friends at www.BensFriends.org and watch our 60 second YouTube Video at http://youtu.be/YBeRFnJkleU


I’m also at these sites and love new friends!

Scott, I've often wondered how you came to be such a big part of all of this. Now I know. You and Ben have done so much to help so many people. You should be very proud of yourselves!

Hi Scott. I usually welcome members with the phrase…you are no longer alone. That was the toughest part of my AVM experience. I had noone to discuss my worries. This site is a refuge for a lot of members. You and Ben have helped a lot of people!
