Founder and CEO

Scott has spent his career in technology, analytics and risk management having been a Partner at McKinsey & Company and Oliver Wyman. He is also an expert level road racing enthusiast and has been a coach for over a decade. What could be better than combining analytics and racing skills to one of the greatest sports… MotoGP™. He started his passion for motorcycles and racing growing up in Northern California. Aside from riding dirt bikes every day possible, he frequented road racing and flat track events at places like Laguna Seca and the San Jose Mile. In fact, his first track day was at Laguna Seca and he never looked back, now teaching road racing on the east coast. He still loves dirt bikes so when he can’t make a track day, he cross trains on his four mile grass track at the farm.
