The industry veteran is passionate about helping other advisors and owners learn how to serve the LGBTQ+ community effectively, and proudly contributes to my local ASTA chapter as a board member.

"Being named to the Travel Industry¡¯s 40 Under 40 is a huge honor. For me, it represents recognition of the hard work and dedication I¡¯ve put into building Rainbow Getaways and advocating for inclusive travel. It¡¯s not just about professional achievement¡ªit¡¯s about contributing to an industry that has the power to transform lives. I¡¯m passionate about helping people feel confident and celebrated when they travel, especially those from the LGBTQ+ community, and this award fuels that passion even more."?

Industry Reference

¡°Among his MANY other accomplishments, Scott has been pivotal in helping us build Tern from the ground up,¡± Tern¡¯s Molly Johnson said. ¡°He has spent dozens and dozens of hours sharing his workflows with us, giving us feedback on beta features, and providing strategic insights on the space.¡±

¡°He was there when Tern was just an idea, and has helped shape it from nothing into the fastest growing platform for travel advisors in the U.S.,¡± Johnson continued. ¡°It is really special that he takes so much time out from his busy schedule to help us build the right things for advisors, seeking nothing in return. I truly believe that if it weren¡¯t for Scott, Tern would not be what it was today.¡±
