Guest Biography

Jonathan Scott is a former offensive tackle who played for the Pittsburgh Steelers and Buffalo Bills, and was a fifth-round draft for the Detroit Lions. He also played for the Chicago Bears and Atlanta Falcons. He was recognized as a unanimous All-American when he played college ball for the University of Texas as part of the 2005 National Champion Texas Longhorns. After a decade in the NFL, Scott transitioned into a career in finance, education, executive leadership, and recently became co-owner of a private equity group.
