Scott holds a Certified Fund Specialist™ (CFS™) designation with a Certification in Alternative Investments. As a third-generation financial professional with over 20 years of experience in the financial services industry, Scott started as a wholesaler in Denver for one of the largest Insurance Marketing Organizations in the country. Later, he went on to help start and grow other financial firms, including a Broker-Dealer and a few Registered Investment Advisors. Rapid success came from working closely with financial advisers and intensely focusing on not just case design assistance, but from introducing a more business consultant, team-oriented, and adviser-centric service model approach…something nobody else in the industry offered at the time, that had advisers’ practices soaring. This philosophical approach remains the foundation of Optivise’s service model today.

Scott holds a Series 65 investment license and Life and Health Insurance licenses, also previously holding Series 7 and 63 FINRA licenses. Scott also holds a Certified Fund Specialist™ (CFS™) designation and a Bachelor’s degree in Corporate Communications from Texas A&M University, with a focus on Business and International Relations.
