Scotty Shaver’s Legacy Drives On.


In the heart of North Carolina, where the roots of tradition and history run deep, the story of Dr. Joseph Scott “Scotty” Shaver unfolds—a tale of resilience, academic achievement, and a lifelong passion for American muscle cars. Growing up as an only child on a Rowan County farm, Scotty's childhood was defined by hard work in the cotton fields, where he earned just a penny per pound. Yet, it was his academic prowess that charted his course to a transformative future.

Scotty's journey from the farm to the academic halls of Pfeiffer College (now Pfeiffer University) began with a scholarship—a pivotal opportunity that would lead him to eventually earn a doctorate in analytical chemistry from the University of Florida. Throughout his life, Scotty's gratitude toward Pfeiffer University remained profound, often crediting the institution and his mentors for his success.
