Personally
I try to live life to the fullest while making a difference in my community. In addition to my sales and marketing career, I am also a:
- Mountain biker, racer, and volunteer youth cycling coach
- Skier and snowboarder
- Avocational photographer
- Eagle Scout who still camps 40+ nights/year
- Lucky husband and proud father of two.
- Humanitarian dedicated to generous giving and regular volunteering.
Professionally
I am a “go-giver” sales and marketing guru. My broad experience across product development, business strategy consulting, marketing, sales, sales engineering, customer advocacy, customer success, legal, and finance helps me build strong, cross-functional relationships with my clients and colleagues to develop creative strategies that can be delivered with impeccable execution.
“Scott is a human swiss-army knife: he has so broad a skill set, he can always find a way to deliver.” – Scott Davis, CEO at Lyzasoft
“Scott is a strategic thinker and a brilliant tactician rolled into one.” – Tracy Chandler, Senior Manager at Accenture
Although I am an avocational photographer who mostly tries to help non-profits tell their story, my images have been featured by recognizable brands like The Pro’s Closet, published in global media outlets like Fox Sports, and is displayed at galleries like Prairiebrooke Arts.
Mountain Biking
My MTB journey started out with a few hiccups, including a broken collarbone. Thankfully, I have learned from those initial mistakes, as seen in this photo where I “hit the kicker” at the 24 Hours in the Old Pueblo race. My favorite aspect of mountain biking is the ability to quickly ride far away from the trailhead and explore the serenity of nature.
Mile High Cycling
I founded this middle school cycling team for the public school district of Prescott, Arizona in 2022 and currently serve as head coach. Our group includes:
- 36 student-athletes and 20+ volunteer coaches.
- Interscholastic, competitive racing and recreational riders.
- Skills clinics and bike games, trail rides, and special events like “Friday Night Lights” and “Ice Bucket Challenge.”
- Monthly “Lady Badgers” events to encourage our female students, who currently represent an astounding 46% of the team.
Our team motto is “ride fast, don’t crash, go Badgers!”

Camping
I started camping as a child with my dad in Cub Scouts. This later turned into becoming an Eagle Scout and continues into adulthood with 45+ nights each year spend backpacking, bikepacking, or RV camping, usually doing so with my children.
Fly Fishing
Hanging on the wall right next to my desk is a display case containing the fly rods used by my father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and great-great-grandfather. I try not to embarrass the family name when going out on the water while also passing along the tradition of both fishing and fly tying to my two children.

Skier & Snowboarder
I fell in love with snowsports after watching my first Warren Miller film in 1998 and deciding to drive to Breckenridge, Colorado that same night with friends from the University of Kansas. My wife and I were fortunate enough to move to Steamboat Springs in 2007 and began to raise two children there until 2017.

Husband & Father
The most important and enjoyable aspect of my life is being a lucky husband and proud father to my family. I am thankful to be able to enjoy many of the above hobbies with my wife and kids while also having built a career that allows us to spend significant and quality time together.
I have been blessed with the ability and passion to:
- Donate 10% of all income to charity.
- Reserve a portion of each week for volunteering activities.
- Remain an active leader in various civic issues.
Giving Back
“It is in giving that we receive.”
