Scott Stanko
Technical and Communications Support
Union City, California, USA
BIOGRAPHY
Currently a manager of Information Technology at Woodruff-Sawyer & Co., a San Francisco based insurance brokerage, Scott is highly versed in the latest computer and networking technologies. He has instituted a broad range of technologies across the ever growing enterprise from high speed mobile communications, video conferencing and other collaborative technologies to keep an increasingly geographically diverse and mobile workforce connected and informed.
Sharing his career in technology with a love for the outdoors, Scott often finds himself exploring to capture the wonder of nature on digital film as an amateur photographer. His eye has taken him, among other places, to California's beautiful Yosemite and Russian River Valleys, and Mayan archeological sites in Costa Maya, Mexico. Most often, though, you can find him the Napa and Sonoma Valleys of California, both appreciating the local wines and capturing the incredible scenery in digital media.
Scott has worked in information technology for over 15 years. He brings this knowledge base and technical skills to the Everest Freestyle Expedition. Scott's role will be to support the team from the states during the 2007 trek to Advanced Base Camp and for the 2009
Everest Traverse. He will handle any technical issues that may arise and cannot be resolved in the field. Scott will also aid in the distribution of content and media to our worldwide audience.
With his initial degree in Environmental Analysis and Design from the University of California, Irvine, Scott developed a practical understanding of the impact we humans have on our planet. Being able to support a project like the Everest Freestyle Expedition and utilize current technology to bring both the message and the environment to a broad, international audience, will allow Scott to
combine two passions that drive him in his life.
Scott currently resides in Union City, California, just outside San
Francisco with his partner, Sara, and their two cats, Lime and Keitaro.
