Pronouns: He/him

Professional Path

Scott is the Director of Digital Strategy at Wheelhouse DMG. He started with the company in 2014 as a content writer and now manages the Digital Strategy team — the “engine room” of the SEO practice, responsible for delivering ongoing SEO work, audits, content gap analysis, outreach, content creation, and more. Scott also provides direct strategic recommendations to organizations with multiple sites in their online ecosystem. Before Wheelhouse, Scott worked as a content specialist and digital marketer at a variety of Seattle-area tech companies, including Amazon, Cobalt, and Marchex.

Personal Passions

Scott was born and raised in the Seattle area and lives in Ballard with his wife and son. His stereotypical interests include coffee (to a fault), writing, reading, baseball, trees, and beer. But he also has a deep appreciation for classical music, British comedy, Eritrean cuisine, and his 40-minute walks to work every morning.

With a background in digital strategy and integrated marketing, Liz enjoys deep diving into data across all digital disciplines in order to provide her clients with creative strategic solutions to help exceed their ROI goals.

Natalie specializes in Technical SEO and Conversion Rate Optimization. She’s the eyes and ears on the clients’ sites. When she’s not recommending site structure improvements, she’s probably visiting another Seattle brewery or exploring the Pacific Northwest.

A huge fan of the outdoors and Seattle sports, Johnathn brings his enthusiasm to clients and team members alike as a Wheelhouse DMG Client Experience Manager.

Erika is a Client Experience Manager. A NW native, she loves to ski, read, and run in between chauffeuring her three kids (and the family dog) to more activities than she cares to think about. She also loves Prosecco and Oreos, but not together.

As our Business Development Manager, Scott is consistently improving our Wheelhouse business development program while simultaneously operating as an integral part of every client relationship. When he’s not at work he juggles multiple sports, as a triathlete and competitive runner.

Paul Weinstein oversees Wheelhouse’s Mozaic tool. Paul is a happily married father of two beautiful girls, gave up cross-fit for yoga, and then gave up yoga for triathlons.

Liz is the Director of Client Experience at Wheelhouse DMG, coordinating the workflows between the Digital Strategy, Analytics, and Engineering practices, so that things run smoothly. When she’s not in the office, she’s probably training for another marathon or paddle-boarding with her dog.
