Scott has been immersed in the pedorthics industry since 1995. His journey started after seeing results from a career questionnaire that he completed in high school. It was either a bus driver, EMT or a Orthotic/Prosthetic Technician. Before venturing on his journey to becoming a Canadian Certified Pedorthist, he decided to be a missionary for two years in the Philippines where he learned the most important thing in life is to
follow his heart.

Scott is very experienced and knowledgeable in designing and constructing orthotics
for a variety of lower limb conditions. Properly designed and constructed orthotics can help biomechanical deficiencies in the feet and ankle adapt to the impact forces from the ground. He is a craftsman and artisan in his ability to hand craft custom orthotics in his own studio. He is able to provide a unique experience of one-on-one biomechanical assessment, plaster-casting, tailored materials and on-point adjustments while you wait.
