Scary Background
The Scary Guy’s Resume is written in ink.
He stands six foot tall, with tattoos that encompass his face and entire body, testament to his life’s experiences and his own personal journey.
He was born December 29, 1953, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States.
He wasn’t named The Scary Guy at birth.
He was the eldest of three boys born to Constance Buckingham and Carroll Kaufmann.
He grew up in New Hope, Minnesota.
As a child he had an undiagnosed reading disorder.
To this day he has difficulty reading and writing extended material.
“Looking back I realize that the drive to hear and learn from a story was a strong one. I consider stories to be a powerful process through which man communicates and shares his ideas, vision and reality. Today, I read life stories in the faces, words and actions of every person I meet.”
- The Scary Guy 2007
