John McCarty

Scott represents his products and himself honestly with straight forward approach to solutions. I had the pleasure of getting to know him at a training and his name has since come up several times within the lighting industry as an example of what a good agent is all about. I hope to cross paths again.

Jeff Howe, Architect

Great friend and excellent resource. If he doesn't already know the answer, he'll find it. I have continued to work with Scott for a number of years, through various roles in multiple companies and disciplines. From his work as a consulting engineer, to his newer role as a lighting consultant and rep., his work has always been of high caliber. He is the type of man that excels at whatever he does, and he is capable of providing the customized level of service necessary to accommodate varied project needs and customer relationships.
