Scott's first company was Kaleidoscope Candies.
He was 12.

Kaleidoscope Candies never got venture funding. It was never acquired by a global conglomerate. But it was Scott's first answer to a question he's been asking ever since: what makes people feel something?

He's still asking it. The companies are just bigger now.

Now he builds experiences. Both kinds.

In 1999, Scott founded IMC (IM Creative) — an experiential agency that designs and delivers powerful live events for some of the world's most recognized brands. His husband Shannon Morrison joined as partner, and together they've built something rare: an agency known not just for flawless execution and stunning creative, but for true partnership. Clients stay because IMC works for their goals, has their back, and makes them look good. That's not a tagline. It's a track record.

Scott and Shannon also co-founded Drama Club — a commercial musical theatre company developing and producing brave new musicals with emerging and traditionally excluded artists. They run the full pipeline: from early readings and workshops where a show first finds its voice, through to full commercial production. Drama Club exists because Scott believes the American musical is one of the most powerful art forms alive — and that it deserves champions willing to bet on it.

The through line between a global sales conference and a new Broadway musical? Both are about what happens when people are in a room together and something extraordinary occurs. Being Together Matters. He built two companies on that idea.

He comes by the activist thing honestly.

Scott learned from his mother that you use whatever platform you have to make things more fair. He's spent his career doing exactly that — as a lifelong advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and civil rights, as a board member and fundraiser, and as someone who has always believed that building a good business and doing good in the world are the same project, not competing ones.

Before all of that…

He produced The Radio City Christmas Spectacular starring the Rockettes. He practiced law at Gray Plant Mooty in Minneapolis. He grew up in Omaha, Nebraska, studied political science at Grinnell College, and graduated cum laude from the University of Minnesota Law School. He has been gay the whole time.
