Steve Herbruck

Scott has been my right hand and sometimes my left for the past 1.5 years. He has been an essential element of innovation during the research and development design for manufacture-ability of our new Dynakinetic™ engine architecture, in a timely and extremely cost effective manner. Scott has laid out the structure and positioned the company for world class state-of-the-art production. He is an accomplished asset in all executive disciplines including the engineering of new innovative parts and components, systems integration, and product and process development. His business structure acumen as a board director has been a strong component for successful growth and problem solving. He is very focused with a driving will to succeed. Scott is a key asset and I have had the good fortune to work directly with him.

Lydia Cole

I have worked with Scott during the past two years as a colleague in two technology startup companies. During that time I have found him to be a sterling performer, in every area of business and a person of great personal integrity and character. His depth of knowledge, creative insight, and strength of project execution is impressive in engineering, technology, program management, manufacturing, business development, corporate strategy, customer and supplier development, and team building. He has been an invaluable resource to me personally in all of these endeavours and I could not think of anyone I would recommend more highly. Do business with him if you get the opportunity.
