Meet Scott

Scott grew up in the Ozarks in Missouri on his family farm, which was homesteaded in the late 1800s. Understanding hard work and long hours, he had a strong desire to build a life for his own family that gleaned from his family’s dedication and tenacity to survive and thrive off their land. The first in his family to earn a degree from college, Scott always felt the need to make the most of his opportunities. He came to APO with a wealth of experience in the private business world. He has owned and operated his own business for over 10 years, committing daily to bootstrapping and developing a successful business. From sales and operations to finance, Scott has experienced business planning at every level. He can relate to the rigor of building from the ground up and the diligence it takes to protect what you have worked for. He now leverages his experience to help others plan out their retirement and financial legacy.

An avid sports fan, Scott especially loves baseball. For nearly 15 years he played and/or coached college baseball. From 2005-2008, he also scouted professionally for the Atlanta Braves. He spent time on the field with and coached several notable Major League baseball players like World Series MVP Freddie Freeman, Gerrit Cole, Mike Moustakas and Nolan Arenado.

Scott is also a connoisseur of fine spirits with an affinity for single malt scotch. He has led a whisky club with members all over the country and has been the host and keynote speaker for whisky tasting events in California. If you want to chat about whisky, you may not be able to get him to stop talking.

Scott is married to his beautiful wife of 10-plus years, Jessica. She is a concierge hair stylist. Scott is opening up APO’s new Florida office in Palm Beach Gardens.
