Treasurer

Scott has been in social work for 25 years and has supported families in several scenarios. In 2013 Scott was approached to volunteer by a SUDS for SIDS committee member and has been a huge contributor to the Beer Fest ever since. Because of his hard work and dedication to Angel Eyes, he was asked to serve on the Board beginning in 2018.

Although it occurred many years ago, he recognized the support the family needed back then and understands the needs of other families in similar circumstances.
