Scott Wyden Kivowitz

My name is Scott Wyden Kivowitz. I am a father, photographer, and podcaster from Monmouth County, New Jersey.

Growing up, I felt as though three things were holding me back from pursuing my dreams.

I am color blind, so I constantly mismatch colors for outfits and other things in my life. While going to college for photography, my professors assisted me when printing in the darkroom. Today, I rely heavily on color correction and precision tools to ensure accuracy. My wife is helpful in that area as well.

In my senior year of high school, I discovered I was dyslexic, and that explained so much from earlier years. Today I create content for a living, whether photos, videos, or text. I use grammar and spelling tools like Grammarly to help catch an error from my dyslexia.

Lastly, I was heavily bullied throughout high school. That plays a toll on your social abilities and confidence. I have since learned to overcome my insecurities and consider myself successful in many ways. Public speaking has been a regular responsibility I give myself to help me break out of my comfort zone. I train at my Karate dojo, learning the traditional art of Goju Ryu. You can follow my Karate journey here.

I have a beautiful family with two children and a job that allows me to interact with a thriving community.
