“I’ve always been drawn to the technical side of things,” Scot reflects. “If you know how something’s made, you can sell it with confidence.” Starting in dispatch, he quickly moved up through the ranks, learning everything he could about foam fabrication, converting, and the science behind different grades and densities of foam.
