Financial Planner, RJFS
"Scott grew up in Phoenix, Arizona and graduated with his Bachelor's Degree from Wheaton College in Illinois, where he studied business and communication. He joined the financial industry in 2010 and has been successfully helping individuals, families, and businesses in all areas of financial planning. Scott holds the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification and his focus has been on implementing holistic, comprehensive financial planning (investments, taxes, retirement, estate, risk management, insurance) to help each person achieve their unique goals. He also holds the CERTIFIED DIVORCE FINANCIAL ANALYST® designation, as he has found himself continually assisting women in navigating the difficulties and financial aspects that surround the divorce process, as well as other major life transitions. He is passionate about helping others succeed and strives to make a valuable impact on all the lives he touches.
Scott lives in Kona with his beautiful wife, Dana, and their three amazing kids; Vienna, Ruby, and Everett. They love breaking away to the beach, and cherish the travel they get to enjoy together as a family. Scott’s value of community, and service of that community, has grown exponentially over the years. He and his wife have served with the youth at their church, and Scott’s faith and love for music have also led him to serve as a worship leader for their church body. He is a member and former-Chair of the board of directors for Hospice of Kona – an organization near and dear to his heart. Scott has a love for people and is always ready to beckon the call to serve and help others."
