Indispensable Team Member

Scott has been an indispensable member of our team, contributing his remarkable skills, expertise, and dedication for nearly 30 years. His steadfast commitment has been truly exceptional, and he leaves behind an impressive legacy that will be remembered and appreciated.

Data Security Expert

Scott has been our foremost expert in data security for most of his career here and has helped in countless projects to keep computing safe for our end users. Scott has also been a big part of the national and even international security community. For example, he has been a major contributor to the Internet Anti Phish Email Reply (APER) project. APER is still being used actively by vendors in their email anti phishing solutions.

Email Safety Expert

With those efforts and his local and system work, Scott has been helping to keep your email experience safer and your inbox relatively empty of spam and phish email for much of his career.

Thank You, Scott

We appreciate Scott's many talents and contributions and congratulate him on his retirement.
