Who is Scott Adams?
Scott Adams was born in Windham, New York State USA on 8 June 1957 – his sun sign is Gemini and his nationality is American. He’s the man behind the “Dilbert” comic strip, and the author of numerous other nonfiction works of business, commentary, and satire. Scott was born to Virginia and Paul Adams and is of German, English, Welsh, Scottish, Irish and Dutch descent. He began reading comics at the age of five with his favorite being “Peanuts” – he started working on his own comics when he was six years old, and won his first drawing competition after turning 11.
Scott attended the Windham Ashland Jewett Central School , then enrolled at Hartwick College from which he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in economics in 1979 – he continued his education at the University of California, Berkeley and obtained a Master of Business Administration degree in 1986.
He launched his career at Crocker National Bank in San Francisco, where he worked with telecommunications engineers from 1979 to 1986 – during his first year there while working as a teller (cashier), he was held-up at gunpoint two times. After that, he became a computer programmer, commercial lender, and a product manager before being promoted to a supervisor.
He created his famous “Dilbert” comic during these years – the idea for the name came from Mike Goodwin, his ex-boss – he used his family’s deceased pet Beagle dog Lucy as an idea for the Dogbert (original Dildog) character in the comic.
The comic failed to be published at first, but a letter from a fan motivated Scott to keep trying until he finally succeeded in 1989 with United Media, actually while working at Pacific Bell telephone company from 1986 to 1995. In 1991, his comic was syndicated to around 100 newspapers, which climbed to 400 by 1994.
By 1996 Scott had become a full-time cartoonist, and his comic was being published in 800 newspapers – in the same year, he published his first business book entitled “The Dilbert Principle”. “Dilbert” began being published in around 2,000 newspapers by 2000 – it could be found in 57 countries, translated into 19 languages.
Scott has released two books about religion – “God’s Debris” in 2001 and “The Religion War” in 2004.

He’s somewhat of an actor too, as he played Mr. Adams in a single episode of the “Babylon 5” science fiction TV series, which was his favorite show, and he had a tiny role in an episode of the “NewsRadio” TV series. He has launched Scott Adams Foods, Inc., which he currently serves as the CEO, and is also the co-owner of Stacey’s Café located in Pleasanton in California.
Scott was a member of Mensa, the largest and oldest high IQ society in the world. He’s had a serious health problem, as he found out in 2004 that he is suffering from focal dystonia, which is making it harder for him to draw. He also suffered from spasmodic dysphonia, which was fixed by surgery in July 2008.

She was born in 1988.
One expects that Kristina INSISTED that Mr. Adams sign a Prenuptial Agreement before she agreed to marry him, just to insure that Adams isn’t just after half of her 3 Million.
Protect your money from that Goldigger Kristina.
who cares how old she is… she’s hot as fnck..
She’s in her 30’s, not her 40’s. That website is incorrect- she was born in 1988, (I know there’s good looking 41 year olds out there but they simply don’t look like that).
Isn’t it about time she went home spent some time with her children? Pretty telling that her children don’t even get a single mention in her likes and hobbies section.
