“Following the incident on the MAERSK ALABAMA with Somali pirates, Scott’s advice on media and public relations proved extremely helpful. The fact that he was in the region when the incident occurred, his insights into Maritime Security Operations and his Fifth Fleet experience provided valuable crisis communications resources for us.”
Erik L. Johnsen, President, International Shipholding Corporation
“A small company successfully permitting an offshore LNG terminal is a challenge unto itself, but doing so in the Gulf of Mexico during the midst of the Deepwater Horizon incident after other multi-national organizations have already failed is almost impossible. There is no question that Scott’s guidance throughout our project was a key factor in our successful permitting of the Bienville Offshore Energy Terminal. Scott served as a key advisor to our senior management team, and his insight into the emotions, politics, and potential pitfalls at the local and state levels was always spot on.”
Joe Berno, former President/CEO, TORP Technology

Rear Admiral Greg Smith, USN (Ret.)
“Scott was a great help to journalists when he was based in Baghdad. He used to go out of his way to try to find the information that a journalist was looking for, balancing the public’s need to know with operational security.”
