Testimonials

“Scott has always been about people and systems. As my neighbor, he organized our block. As my mentor, in the solar company he co-founded, he took the time to train me and get me excited about alternative energy. He thinks strategically and he is keen at designing systems that start with broad concepts yet are rooted in the details of what really works for people, our society, and the natural world. Scott’s enthusiasm is catchy not just because of his great personality, but because he truly cares.”

Commercial Solar Project Manager

Scott is a superb collaborator who possesses an extraordinary ability to find the core criterion of any problem set. Police use of force offers such a challenge. His strength lies in his ability to quickly understand and begin planning a course of action that identifies and answers critical questions, identifies skilled experts and practitioners to begin collaboration, and present a vision of a process(s) that broadens understanding. Scott has broadened my perspective to see the inequities in the basic function of the criminal justice system. I am pleased that we will continue to explore the realities of this difficult work.
