Scott Wilson knows how to make money. While still a young man, he jumped into the market and worked as a stockbroker. While the money is good in stocks, Wilson found even greater potential in the world of consultancy. While he was originally from Canada, Wilson moved to San Jose, Costa Rica to work as a consultant for an Internet company. All the while, Wilson continued to play a game that he'd enjoyed his entire life. Better yet, it was yet another way to make money. An avid golfer and gambler, Wilson maintained a special love for the game of poker. Wilson loves the game of Razz, but his biggest wins have come on the no-limit felt. In 2004, Wilson headed to San Francisco to play in the WPT Bay 101 Shoot Star event. He made it all the way to fourth place and earned nearly $80,000. Since then, Wilson has cashed in both WPT and World Series of Poker events and has continued to do what he does best: make money.
