Scott is one of those familiar early morning faces who helps make the 5:30am class feel like family. Between work, family life, and nonstop activities with his daughters, he still finds time to consistently show up and put in the work. From long-distance running to his first competition experience, Scott brings a steady attitude and strong work ethic to the gym every day. We’re excited to spotlight Scott this month, read all about him below!

I like to run long distance. I play disc golf, hunt and fish when I get the chance.
