As a young boy, Scott grew up in a broken home. His father left at a young age, he and his siblings were homeless, and his family was short of hope. But because of a determined and loving mother, they were able to pull themselves out of debt, bankruptcy, and poverty. Scott knows what it’s like growing up with nothing and has turned his life around and committed to helping others find and pursue their passion by living a financially independent life.
Scott is the creator of Simplify Financial Coaching. He coaches, speaks and writes on topics of personal finance helping people in the Salt Lake City area. Scott also works as a Financial Counselor at the University of Utah where he also helps college students get the most out of their finances and create the right money habits that will help them for the rest of their lives. Scott graduated from the University of Utah with a degree in Business Administration and is an Accredited Financial Counselor® through the Association of Financial Counselors and Planning Educators (AFCPE).
Scott is a husband and a father to a newborn son. He loves waking up early, exercising, reading and spending quality time with his family.
