Scott joined NC Design in 2012. He is very passionate about design and his long list of successful projects speaks for itself. Cole first noticed Scott’s strong abilities and keen work ethic while teaching one of MSU’s first year design courses in 2004. By chance they ran into each other again at a Griz Game in 2012. Since then, Scott has been a very valuable member of NC Design Studio. Scott also grew up in Missoula and attended Montana State Architectural School for his Bachelors and Masters degree. He loves to ski up at the local ski area and spend time hiking many of Montana’s beautiful peaks.
