I was an outside vendor of Scotts and have worked with him for several years now. His professionalism and his organizational skills are top notch. However, what makes him stand out the most is his creativity. His events were always designed with style, class and an artistic eye. He would be a great addition to any company,

Scott is very detail oriented. I never had to worry when I handed a project to him. The staff liked him and many clients requested to work with him. Scott is the type of professional that every hospitality operation needs.
