Meet the Manager

Scotty D.

Manager

Scotty took up clock repair as a hobby and relaxation activity from his day job in 1995. There were courses available through Pima College at the time, and he discovered both a deep interest and a knack or aptitude. He took the courses repeated over the next 10 years, gaining nuanced insite every time he went through them. He eventualy took over teaching the courses until Pima College had their management melt down. Scotty holds a bachelors degree in Wildlife Management and a Masters in Public Administration degree, both from the U of A. He worked in county government for 7 years and then in hospital management for 18. With the Great Recession, he found himself looking for a position, he had already been working part-​time at the clock shop for 5 years, the shop came up for sale and here we are today!
