If you see someone dancing in the middle of the showroom, it is probably Scott. After being lost in major market AV retail for many years, he brings his love of all genres of music to LWA. A Canadian who arrived in Sydney in 1997 after three years in Japan, he loves the cinema and TV which also means he’s invaluable on a pub trivia team. Rediscovering what music can sound like by playing both new and obscure vinyl you’ll find him in the quiet seclusion of the audio rooms…unless he's dancing!
