My name is Scott Takeda, and I'm a writer/producer/director/actor from Denver, Colorado, USA. I'm a third-generation Japanese-American born on the first day of spring (March 21st, 1967) in Fort Collins, CO. My parents Bob and Tomiko are also Colorado natives, born in farm communities east of Denver and Pueblo. I have a younger brother named David.

I list among my life accomplishments: bungee jumping, skydiving, and saving a frantic family from a rattlesnake. The best job I've ever had was delivering newspapers as a kid. I held onto the job for six years and was sadly forced to quit when I moved away for college.

My favorite color is purple, but it used to be green. My favorite movie is "When Harry Met Sally." I have four names. My middle names are Robert (after my Dad) and Koji (which means "scholar" in Japanese). My initials SRKT form the word "sirkit" which is the basis for my company Short Sirkit Creative and this web site domain.

In my free time, I help run a local non-profit arts organization, I play the trumpet, and I always stop to smell the roses.
