Experience: Scott is a father, husband, and bedtime storyteller living in Kaimuki. He's also the Executive Director for Ceeds of Peace, a local non-profit devoted to raising peacebuilding leaders. In this role, he leads an organization that creates and facilitates platforms and opportunities for educators, parents, general community members, and youth to learn about peacebuilding, then launch peace action plans. Prior to this role with Ceeds of Peace, Scott served as the Vice President of Workforce Development at Abilities Unlimited, a local nonprofit devoted to building inclusive communities that empower individuals with disabilities. As the daddy to his daughter, Elle (+ a baby on the way!), he has a deep personal responsibility pushing him to bring his community and the world closer to this goal of peace, as distant as it may sometimes seem.
