Meet Our Founder Scott
After high school, Scott received an appointment to the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. He earned a double-Bachelor’s degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the Air Force Academy and later earned a Master’s degree in Civil and Construction Engineering from Iowa State University. While in the military, Scott served at the Pentagon during 9/11, led a recovery team during the anthrax attacks on Capitol Hill in 2001, and later taught Environmental Engineering and GIS/mapping to cadets at the U.S. Air Force Academy. After working with GPS equipment and mapping software while in the Air Force, Scott learned how to couple GPS and GIS technology with soil fertility mapping on his family farm. His expertise as an environmental engineer provided the necessary background in chemistry and soil sciences to understand how to apply his skills to improve agricultural production on his own farm and for his client’s farms. All of the precision agriculture services he provides to clients have proven successful on his own land.
“Scott is responsive to clients no matter the season. Often, clients call or text Scott while they are planting or harvesting. Scott works hard to call or text answers to client questions quickly!”
Today, Scott remains a licensed environmental engineer and certified industrial hygienist with 24 years of experience working with business owners, municipalities, a top-10 engineering university, and large government agencies. Scott has extensive experience in environmental compliance, soil and groundwater sampling, site remediation, due diligence investigation, air permitting, industrial hygiene, UAV imagery analysis, asset management and GIS. Scott is also a FAA-licensed drone pilot with project experience in Iowa, South Dakota, Illinois, and California.
Scott is passionate about taking data and turning it into better solutions for ag clients looking for higher yields and more profit as well as environmental clients looking for cost-effective, sustainable solutions the protect the environment. Nearly all of his business has been through referrals from other clients. Client references are available upon request.
Scott lives and works just outside Adel, Iowa.
Scott and his wife have been married since 1996 and have three daughters. He enjoys spending time with his family, volunteering at his church, attending his girls’ activities, and hunting. Scott has a 40-year farming addiction and loves all equipment with either red or green paint!
