Scott Lepine With 26 years in telecommunications, I’ve built my career across field service, plant maintenance, and network performance.

I hold an Associate’s degree in IT with a concentration in Networking and Telecommunications, a Bachelor’s in Business Administration, and a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt. I’m committed to ongoing growth and am looking to take a more active role in the industry through SCTE and other professional opportunities.

He’s an avid basketball player, so much of my time is spent getting him to practices, cheering him on at games, and shuttling him and his friends around. Balancing career and parenthood has strengthened my leadership, time management, and dedication — qualities I bring to every role I take on.
