Scott in real life

What keeps you busy outside of work?

I enjoy spending my time with family, water sports, and riding anything with two wheels.

Favorite thing about where you live?

Living in the Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia area (also known as DMV) allows me to pursue all of my interests in an amazing place that is diverse but very community based.

Why do you like working at Mercer Advisors?

Simply put, they make my job advising clients in managing their wealth so much easier by the amount of resources at my disposal. We have an incredible group of professionals in varying disciplines to provide assistance in areas that are not my expertise.
