Scott Yoder joined the Scanco team in May 2011 as an East Coast Sales Associate. You’re likely to find him educating new and existing customers on the software and equipment that Scanco provides or seeking to learn more about end-user operations in order to recommend the solution that will provide the most value. Scott was really impressed with Scanco from the beginning and comments, “This company is the perfect balance between a professional business and a relaxed atmosphere. For example, we are very serious about the work we do, taking care of our customers and making sure their needs are met while at the same time existing within a relaxed environment. This combination is very conducive to performing at a high level. I am excited to be a part of a company like this, where I feel I can not only be successful but also enjoy what I do.”
Prior to coming to work for Scanco, Scott worked for a company that developed transportation technology software. Before that, he worked for L-3 Communications, a defense contractor who also had commercial, military and government companies. He explains, “While attending the University of South Florida I was offered an internship at L-3, learning the sales process and working with the order administrators. When I graduated in 2006 and earned my Bachelor’s degree in General Business Administration, they offered me a job. I worked for the Sarasota branch which was a manufacturer of black boxes for airplanes.”
When Scott isn’t at work, he’s almost guaranteed to be doing something active. Born and raised in Florida, Scott enjoys hitting the gym, playing tennis, biking or just hanging out at the ‘best beach in the country’. Scott also enjoys traveling and of his trips comments “I’ve been to England, Amsterdam, Norway and Sweden on one big trip in 2006. My favorites were Norway or Sweden because of the beautiful countryside – lots of hills, and old castles. It was beautiful and clean and had a lot of history to it.” When asked what he’s most proud of he says, “I’d have to say I’m very proud of my parents. The way they raised me and the values I learned from them have definitely helped me in both my personal and professional life.”
