Staff And Leadership

Scott Fogarty (he/him)

Originally from West Virginia, Scott moved extensively as a child where he learned to escape into the world's natural wonders.

He spends his spare time exploring the world with his family, coaching his daughter's rugby team, gardening, birding, and enjoying all that Oregon offers (skiing, surfing, whitewater kayaking and drinking yummy local beers).
