Strumming to his own tune.
Scott is a partner and a team player. He played baseball in college and continued playing in an 18+ league for 25 years afterward. That dedication is exactly why he’s been working with us for nearly 30 years.
Scott’s favorite part about his job is making a difference for our clients and finding solutions to their challenges. He says it gives him a rewarding feeling and makes what he does worthwhile. But if he had to choose a different career, he would be a musician. Scott grew up near the Richfield Coliseum and the Blossom Music Center, so music was always in the air.
He and his wife, Lana, even take RV road trips with their Old-English bulldogs to concerts – their favorite venue is Geneva on the Lake. Scott is adventurous and lives his life by one philosophy: Not to compare himself to others and to focus on being the best he can be. Now, that’s a tune he can dance to
