Scott Acker

Have you ever heard that “a smile is started by another smile” (Frank A. Clark)? Well, this smiling face belongs to Scott Acker and every time he smiles, we smile. Scott has been a participant at STEPs on Arthur since 2007 and during much of his time in service, he participated in the Contracts Plus program, assisting with the East Link project, kindling and various Kohler projects. Just prior to Covid, Scott indicated that he was ready for a change and made the move to the Cleaning/Maintenance program. Since his return, he plays an instrumental role in keeping our building sanitized and it is also noted, that he is just as quick to grab a broom to sweep and attend to other janitorial duties. In his younger years, Scott was very involved with Special Olympics floor hockey, playing nets whenever he had the opportunity. Today, his leisure time is spent watching grudge matches on WWE, which is a bit contradictory to that smiling, helpful image that we have just portrayed. However, if you ever see Scott on the dance floor, moving to a slow song, you will know that he is a charmer by nature, not a fighter. Thanks for the smiles Scott. We hope to enjoy them for many years to come
