He has extensive knowledge of tree biology and has partnered with several international scientists to help implement new tools and techniques in an effort to advance the use of science and technology in arboriculture.

Scott is respected as a speaker and educator in tree diagnostics, tree preservation, and tree-supported structures, and is certified to teach the ISA Tree Risk Assessment Qualification course internationally. In 2018 he was awarded the International Society of Arboriculture Honorary Life Member award for his contributions to the industry.

He enjoys skiing, sailing, and climbing of all kinds. And he LOVES being outdoors.
