David A. Scholl

Bert has proven to be a visionary and a driving force for positive change within the Deaf community, especially in his work with Kids of Deaf Adults Camps and now with the formation of PAH Relay! Bert's longtime involvement in the deaf community, both as a child of Deaf adults and as a certified intepreter, has afforded him the insight to establish a new kind of video relay company for the Deaf - one that truly cares for its customers and business partners alike as evidenced by its generous compensation and community giveback programs!
