Prior to Platform, Scott worked with a special situations advisory firm located in New York providing assistance to clients in the areas of capital raising, due diligence and restructurings. Scott started his career working in the accounting practice at Deloitte & Touche, LLP. He is a Certified Public Accountant and received his BBA and MS degrees in accounting from Southern Methodist University.

Scott enjoys playing tennis, golfing, fly-fishing, hiking, cycling, traveling and spending time with his wife and two daughters in his spare time.

The name Box Canyon Holdings is inspired by Telluride, Colorado. The town of Telluride was founded in 1878, sits in a box canyon and started out as a mining area. In addition to the fact that Scott decided to start a new company while visiting Telluride, he and his family have spent a significant amount of time year-round in Telluride over the past 30 years and he has an affection for the area due to the many great memories and his love of the outdoors.
