S2: E4: Dr. Scott Arias "Pick Up Your Mat and Walk"
Dr. Scott Arias is the owner and CEO of Ace Consulting Company, located in Nicholasville, KY. He is a husband, father of four, a tenured professor, entrepreneur and life-long learner. He and his wife, Marne, reside in Nicholasville, KY, and his four children are all integral team members within his company.
Scott left his role of Director of Construction at Mason & Hanger, one of the oldest construction companies in the United States, to pursue his business. In his first year of operation, he made $7,000.00. As of today, his company sees revenue upwards of $15M, has three (3) office locations, with over 100 employees. Additionally, the company is a certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) with a commitment to "give back" by donating 10% of company profit to the Lexington Leadership Foundation, an organization that funds various 501c3 organizations in the local community.
Scott got his start in construction in 1994 when he enlisted in the US Navy, joining the Construction Battalion, better known as the Seabees. In 2002, he was promoted to Chief Petty Office after having served eight (8) years. At that time, he was one of the youngest individuals in the Navy to earn this rank. Just days after his promotion, he was involved in a severe motorcycle accident, costing him his left leg; but that did not stop him from returning to full active duty.
Several years later, he suffered an injury while deployed overseas to the Middle East (Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom), forcing him into early retirement. He retired as a Senior Chief Petty Officer after 12 years of service. After retiring, Scott went on to oversee the construction of 12 US embassies overseas and ultimately settled in Nicholasville, KY to embark on the path leading to where he is today.
In 2019, Scott wrote and published the book Pick Up Your Mat and Walk, that chronicles his own life experiences in overcoming adversity, devastation, self-destruction and finding hope, recovery and the path to success and happiness. His faith and relationship with Jesus Christ are foundational to his finding these things and remain the guiding principles in both his personal and professional life.
