"Over the past year, I have had the pleasure of working with Scott as an advisor to his business ventures. He has impressed me with his business savvy, creativity and intuitive approach to creating value. Scott fuses digital and physical innovation to generate compelling solutions for customers.

One of Scott’s key strengths is his ability to ask the right questions, probe deeply and iterate aggressively. He relishes challenging the status quo, and seeks to understand how service offerings could be better. In the hospitality sector, Scott envisioned cost-effectively developing lodgings that offer a stronger sense of community and engagement between guests, aimed initially at Millennial generation, based on the insight that these consumers were dissatisfied with existing offerings. As the concept evolved, Scott tapped into the fact that there was a larger, underserved business traveler market that could benefit from this type of approach. Scott then synthesized the best aspects of using physical space to create community and collaboration with the core need for privacy and efficiency desired by seasoned business travelers. Critically, Scott did not allow the physical limitations of buildings constrict the idea: he creatively solved for combining the essential need for privacy with open common areas, basically allowing the best of both worlds. Scott’s digital savvy also came heavily into play, as he looked to extend the community spirit and ease-of-use with an app-based tool to plan, book and pay for stays that brought the experience into the customer’s hand.

Without question, Scott has the skills needed to drive business innovation and success. He is a holistic thinker who can solve complex problems by boiling them down to exactly what matters most. He seeks and responds well to feedback, and practices continuous improvement. Importantly, Scott also has strong resiliency, and does not allow set-backs to deter his vision.

I will look forward to watching Scott blaze a successful path!"

"Scott’s a joyous genius. And by that I mean he’s whipsmart and a prize-worthy pleasure to work with. He knows so much about so much and shares it all, welcoming you fully into the idea so together you can explore it. And just as important, he’s equally open-armed to everyone’s thoughts and views and hopes and fears. I came on board to help imagine the story of Scott's new venture, H.ME, and right away, his humanity ruled. There was no pretense in the room, only utter goodness and utterly good collaboration. The positivity never flagged, and the work just kept getting better and better. Just like you want it to. Scott, please bring me along on your next adventure."

"After serving as an advisor to Scott and his team at H.ME for over a year I gained a great appreciation for his abilities on many levels. He is a great combination of intelligence, curiosity, openness to new experience, and work ethic.

Scott has the advantage of design education that allows him to rapidly see human behavior patterns and then translate them into opportunities for consideration.

Beyond, design, Scott combines rapid learning ability with a listening and knowledge seeking approach. He was able to understand, probe, and negotiate on multiple levels including operational issues, capital strategies, and legal issues. Scott is also pro-active, he listens, debates, reflects and then decides. He keeps things moving and keeps his field of view wide.

Scott can keep the necessary nucleus of an idea intact. Agile environments can sometimes be a balance between rapidity and quality. Compromise can be valuable but done poorly can water down the most exciting parts of an initiative. I was very impressed at how Scott could push to achieve the sublime while considering numerous alternatives and maintaining speed.

Scott truly drove an amazing journey at H.ME. I would partner with him again and know he will be successful at whatever opportunity he applies himself."

"Scott and I collaborated on the Collide and C-Suites lodging concepts at H.ME, where Scott was founder and CEO. Scott’s leadership shines bright in his collaborative process of defining a vision, communicating that in an inspiring way, and as he steadfastly steers the teams toward its vision in the face of challenges. A rare trait among leaders, Scott stands his ground when it comes to core principles, but takes care in considering others’ point of view and adjusts when necessary.

At the heart of what makes Scott thrive is his curiosity. His curiosity enables him to quickly dive deeply into what may have previously been an uncharted territory for him. The best example is his ability to quickly grasp the economic and financial concepts needed to understand the viability of his visions. Scott doesn’t have a background in finance, but I never had to explain a new concept to him twice. Without fail, there is nothing Scott couldn’t grasp fluently after he asks all the right questions.

The time I worked with Scott was a time of personal and interpersonal growth. He doesn’t see the pursuit of greatness as a path one merely attempts alone, but one that is best pursued alongside like minded individuals who make each other greater. Scott and I often had meaningful conversations that expanded the possibilities for abundance beyond the superficiality of the task-at-hand. I hope Scott and I have the opportunity to team-up again, and know success will follow him."

"Scott is a highly passionate and creative thinker who is always seeking to improve an experience or product. His intuition and knowledge give Scott the ability to quickly adjust his ideas and elevate his understanding of a problem to create a better solution. He has the personality to give directions but also take them. As the CEO of H.ME, Scott quickly became a natural leader and was able to coordinate with multiple teams and projects in parallel while still building the company. He is very forthright and listens to all ideas before making any decisions. He gives everything he has towards an idea a team is pursuing and is eager to always innovate."

"Scott, without doubt is one of the most talented people I’ve ever had the privilege to work with. We previously teamed up together in Chicago at H.ME developing a unique hybrid hotel/housing product. While there, he lead our diversely talented team by example - graciously sharing his endless knowledge and passion for technology, innovation, and design in collaboration with absolute devotion to ‘make it right’ all combined with his great sense of compassion. It’s safe to say those superior qualities and his tireless dedication translated into motivation for everyone involved in all facets of our work. Scott instinctively has abilities to extract solutions from any challenge in unprecedented fashion - getting it done and doing so with contagious enthusiasm. I am incredibly grateful for the experience I had working with him. Scott is everything that defines a true entrepreneur and naturally continues to be an inspiration for me."
