Scott is a very likeable and motivated hard-worker. He handles challenges in a professional and cool headed way and always goes above and beyond the call of duty. He is a quick learner and adapts to a rapidly changing environment very quickly. When I hired him in the late 90's, we asked him to perform a job in technology sales that was a bit outside of his comfort zone, but he handled it like a champ and became one of our top performers! He builds long-term relationships with his customers and partners. Scott's motivation, discipline and determination enabled him to continue raising the bar for himself and others, and led him to starting, running and succeeding in his own company that he continues to run with his partners today! Scott is an inspiration and, despite his success, carries himself in a very humble way. I highly recommend Scott as a vendor, partner or friend!!

I had the privilege of working with Scott during an explosive growth time (500% annual growth rate) at an undercapitalized startup VAR. Scott was one of the top salesmen in the firm, seldom out of the top 5%, always a pleasure to work with. Even when orders had to held up, as a result of my needing to negotiate additional credit terms to finance our work capital growth, Scott was able to meet customer needs, expectations and keep them returning. It was clearly at these times when Scott demonstrated the meaning of "Value" in value added reseller (VAR). I highly recommend Scott, his firm and his ability to meet/exceed customer/client demands/requirements.
