Scott Walker’s Summary

I have spent 15 years following my passion by broadcasting sports news and sporting events. I have covered some of the greatest athletes in the world (Tiger Woods, Barry Bonds).

Some of the greatest fun in my career has come in the last few years as an entrepreneur. By co-founding Digital Golf, I have been a part of growing a company from start-up to industry brand recognition. As every entrepreneur knows, I now have the skills to do just about anything in business!

I am looking to meet people for whom my skills and business acumen can provide value to their enterprise.

Oh, and if you just want to talk golf...we can do that, too!
