Scott came into construction by chance, transitioning from retail at REI to tower climbing and then eventually into the depths of the underwater world as a commercial diver. For over 11 years, Scott dove on significant projects globally, including the Costa Concordia salvage in Italy and the Davy Crockett river salvage. Diving took him to diverse sites like nuclear power plants and Navy submarines, honing his skills as an underwater welder and instilling a deep appreciation for the intricacies of construction and engineering. In 2016, Scott shifted to commercial construction and pursued a degree in construction management. From Foreman to Superintendent, Scott managed a range of projects from historic renovations to high-rise buildings. Joining Developers Collaborative was a natural choice for Scott due to shared values of integrity and community impact. Outside of work, Scott enjoys outdoor adventures with his wife, two sons, and two dogs - fitting in mountain biking and bow hunting when time allows.

Following the completion of a bachelor's degree in Advertising and Journalism from the University of Maine in Orono, Brina's career began with positions at a Bangor newspaper and a Portland marketing agency.  Her journey led her to spend over a decade at a 55+ active lifestyle community where she managed an award-winning national marketing campaign and refined her skills in graphic design, website development, and online marketing.
