Scott Beesley is a community leader and serial volunteer in Nevada County.  When not doing his day job providing comprehensive financial & tax planning and socially responsible investment advice, his goal is to give 1000 hours per year back to his community.  Most of his volunteer work falls in the areas of disaster management and economic development.  He is the former Incident Command Team Lead for Nevada Co Sheriff’s Office Search & Rescue, former Chair of the Coalition of Firewise Communities, founder of the local CA Disaster Airlift Response Team, Vice Chair of Center for Nonprofit Leadership, and a frequent guest on local grant panels.  Scott holds a B.A. in Economics from University of Michigan, M.S. in Data Analytics & Policy from Johns Hopkins, and is a Certified Financial Planner® professional.  In his spare time, Scott spends unreasonable amounts of time and energy thrashing his body as an ex-member of Team USA for off-road triathlon, is a 3-time Ironman, and can often be found on his gravel bike in the furthest corners of The Sierra.
