These encompass Technology (hardware, software, engineering, gaming, and A.I.), Life Science, Research and Development, as well as manufacturing. Scot’s steadfast commitment to delivering the highest caliber of service is attested by a roster of loyal clients whom he has consistently served and represented.

Scot’s love for Science and Technology started at an early age. Holding a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology, former Laboratory Researcher and Technology Entrepreneur, Scot now serves on various Nonprofits Boards and invests with his clients, where he helps innovators turn bright ideas into the economic engines of tomorrow.
