Experience

Scott sold his first article to a Bay Area local affairs magazine about public transit funding in 2014 and has been writing professionally ever since. After traveling the world and writing about travel for various outlets, he settled down and landed a contract with Angi, where he wrote about home improvement and DIY projects for over 5 years. He's also published pieces about home design, improvement, and maintenance for The Family Handyman, Homedit, Trusted Company Reviews, and Today's Homeowner, to name a few. Today, he's carrying on his passion for home with Static Media's readers to help them out with home hacks, gardening advice, DIY building projects and everything in-between.
