A Message from Captain Scott

There is something about a river flowing... that has always keyed Scott's sense of adventure. When he sees a river, he immediately thinks, “I want to be on it!” In the 1980’s Scott took his river passion and joined it with the sport of white water rafting, exploring many western U.S. rivers with family and friends. He is enticed by the history of early river communities and their use of the river, he likes the peace found in the pace of the water, he appreciates the discovery of natural beauty and wildlife and finding out what’s around the next corner.

Scott also enjoyed a successful career in the Fire Service where he spent nearly a decade working on Fire and Rescue boats on Willamette and Columbia Rivers. His river experience, rescue training and boating skills made him a valuable resource for designing and acquiring state-of-the-art jet boats for his department. Upon retirement, it was a natural decision to continue doing what he loves: boating rivers and providing the opportunity for others to experience the beauty and pleasure of boating Oregon’s Willamette River.
