Director
Scott is a Director at Verlasso ® Harmoniously Raised Fish which raises salmon in Patagonia.

He is a champion of the need to act with urgency to find the most sustainable ways to produce good and healthy food. He is a frequent speaker on the broad topic of “How Your Food is Raised Truly Matters”.
