Experience

As a member of the project management team, Scott is known for his strong team-focused work ethic and his unwavering attention to detail. To Scott, communication, organization, and teamwork are essential to the production of a successful project. His work on K-12 projects and corporate real estate developments attest to his ability to provide value and savings to his clients.

In his current role at Plante Moran Realpoint (PMR), formerly Plante Moran Cresa, Scott is coordinating the $195 million bond campaign for Birmingham Public Schools and the $98 million bond campaign for Farmington Public Schools. The Birmingham Public Schools bond was passed in March 2020 and involves additions and renovations across the district including significant athletic improvements and new auxiliary gymnasiums at both high schools. The Farmington Public Schools bond was also passed in March 2020 is a continuation of the $131.5 million bond program which passed in 2015. The 2020 bond campaign focuses on critical upgrades and improvements not completed in the previous bond. Acting as the school district’s representative, Scott and the rest of the PMR team use their experience in the industry to make knowledgeable, far-sighted recommendations to guide the district through the planning and construction processes.

Scott’s experience in construction management on a wide array of projects, facility assessments, move management, and other construction-related services — along with his insight into facility and equipment depreciation — make him a unique and valuable resource to his clients and the PMR team.

He joined Plante Moran in 2010 after serving various roles for a global construction management firm.

Scott is a U.S. Green Building Council LEED-Accredited Professional (LEED AP) with a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from Michigan Technological University. He enjoys traveling, outdoor activities, golfing, and spending quality time with his wife and two children.
