As the Database Manager at Mind Over Mountains, Scott is driven by a profound belief that technology should be a quiet but powerful force for good. He doesn’t just view his role as managing systems; he sees it as safeguarding the digital foundation that allows the charity to offer restorative, life-changing experiences to those who need them most. For Scott, every data point represents a person reaching out for support, and every streamlined process is an opportunity to extend the organization’s reach further into the community.

Scott is a firm believer that outdoor pursuits improve mental health and is an advocate for this in every aspect of his work. He understands that the structure he provides behind the scenes directly facilitates the moments of clarity and healing that participants find in nature.
