There appears to be a profile started, but I believe the LNAB is actually LaFountaine and he changed it to Fountain in his professional career.

It also appears to be connected to the tree already, but it's privacy level is set so that others can't contribute to it at the moment. I'll ask the PM to lower the privacy so that if someone would like to contribute they can.

Thanks, Scott!
Privacy level updated - I've added a small biography, but he deserves more. Ran out of time though - hopefully someone can pick up where I left off.
