Focused in NSM’s Life & Health Care division, Scott builds key relationships at brand-name manufacturers such as Mary Kay, Procter & Gamble, Unilever, and Amway.

Scott’s love of music began quite early, as both parents were musicians. Dad passed down not only his trumpet, but also his love of jazz, balanced by mom’s devotion to the viola, as well as her classical and opera leanings. Not surprisingly, Scott has a keen interest in both jazz and classical music, and has participated in various choruses over the years, including The Cleveland Orchestra Chorus as a bass-baritone for 25 years.
