Background

It took Scott 20 years working in the ad business to learn the adage, “If you can’t do, teach.” He is now an associate professor of advertising and the associate director at the VCU Robertson School. He teaches classes on storytelling, inspiration and creativity. His secret to teaching is to show lots of enthusiasm in class and to care deeply for students’ success. Seeing alumni doing cool stuff brings him happiness, and he is a very happy guy.
