Hi there! I'm Scott, founder of The Real Scott.

For nearly 20 years, I've led teams and managed operations across the private sector, laboratory environments, and state government. My experience includes directing large operations, overseeing teams of more than 80 employees, and developing managers responsible for their own divisions.

In addition to my professional experience, I was educated in both business and science. I earned an MBA from Averett University in General Management, and a Master of Science in Biology from Virginia Commonwealth University.

Throughout my career, I've learned that being great at your job doesn't automatically prepare you to lead others. Managing people requires a different set of skills, and most new managers are expected to figure them out on their own.

That's why I created The Real Scott—to share the practical tools, proven management principles, and real-world lessons I've gained throughout my career.

My goal is to help new managers lead with confidence, make better decisions, and build teams that deliver results without depending on them for every answer.
