Scott has shown his creative prowess over and over, along with his keen ability to coach talent and build highly entertaining radio stations and audio properties.
Programmers tend to come in two different varieties – analytics and creatives. Scott is one of those rare leaders with a great balance in both spheres. Add to that his collaborative skills, getting the most out of talent and his “think big” mindset, and you’ve got a gem of a brand manager.

I work with dozens of programmers every year, but few like Scott. He’s able to combine the art & science of radio, blending tactical with strategic and never forgetting successful rock brands make their audience feel great about their listening experience. I’m in a unique position in my current role to truly assess the relative strength of the industry’s programming talent and Scott belongs in the upper echelon.

Bruce GilbertSenior Vice President Sports / Cumulus Media & Westwood One
We need those who know how to paint a picture with sound, to breathe life into the simple listening of recorded music, in this era of audio content coming at us from so many sources. That’s the only way to get and keep an audience. From my experience, Scott gets that and combines it with the execution skills to actually make it happen.
