Scotti Madison was born and raised in Pensacola, Florida. He attended J. M. Tate High School and played football there under the guidance of his uncle and coach Carl Madison. A graduate of Vanderbilt University in 1981, Madison was quarterback of the school's football team and catcher for the baseball team. In 1979, he played collegiate summer baseball with the Hyannis Mets of the Cape Cod Baseball League.[1] He was selected All-Southeastern Conference three times and All-American his senior year, the first baseball player at VU to be named as a first-team All-American. Vanderbilt University inducted Madison into the Vanderbilt Hall of Fame on September 2, 2011.

In 2012, Madison published his first book, Just a Phone Call Away: A Major Journey through the Minor Leagues, which highlights his baseball-playing years and experiences, from Little League to the USA All-Star team (playing in Cuba in 1979) to the pros.

During his professional baseball career and afterward, Madison sold insurance for Aflac and became the number one salesman out of 60,000 Aflac agents. He earned the Chairman Emeritus Award for distinguished sales achievement. He is a resident of Acworth, Georgia. In addition to being an author, he is a motivational speaker.
