Entertainment Marketing
In Scot's senior year of highschool, he went to a vocational school to learn engineering and machining. His teacher was horrible, so Scot taught himself programming, used it to steal his teacher's internet password and spent the rest of the year learning how to make websites.
When Scot became a full-time performer, he made his own website. His friends asked for website help. Then, strangers started asking for help. Scot has read around 100 books about marketing, branding & propaganda. He loves it. In 2007, he worked for RED Marketing as a creative director and designer.
Now, he runs Jumping Ovation -- a small entertainment marketing company.
