Out of the Ordinary

Dr. Scott has recently taken up spinning, and was found stating “I thought I was in good shape.”  He enjoys camping and hiking with his sons at Worthington State Park and World’s End.  He also manages to find time to build fully electrified dollhouses with his daughter.

Student Comments

“Dr. Scott is good at stimulating conversation and discussion in the classroom. He is able to get everyone involved and keep us engaged. He brings all kinds of real world examples in the classroom, including using a multitude of sources instead of a textbook and bringing in relevant speakers from the industry.”
–Scott Ernst (2nd Year MBA)
