Wow, what has Scott NOT done. As the Founder of the Gear Foundation I have relied on Scott for Years now for NEW ideas, innovation, and creativity IN solutions. Scott is SO far outside the “box” that he is in his own category. He is committed to innovation which I need to stretch myself especially in these troubled times. I know I will be asking Scott for years to come in helping me not get caught in the day to day but to achieve the bigger picture of serving more special needs young adults and expand My mission. It is rare to surround yourself with someone who has had more than 24 years experience providing Strategic Development, Management Solutions, Sales Development, and Marketing in diverse business settings. I highly recommend my friend Scott for anything you need to accomplish in the future. March 10, 2009

Top qualities: Great Results, Personable, High Integrity
I highly recommend Scott Ringo as an all around consultant that can help you with any facet of your non-profit ventures. I know Scott personally and that Ocean Grand is more of a calling than a profession. He loves helping people and being a problem solver for their particular ventures. He is highly reliable and honest. If he cannot provide the answers you need (which would be rare) – he will direct you to someone that can. Either way, Scott is a great asset because he will continue to direct people to your particular venture even after your work with him has come to an end. In other words, you and your organization will have developed a friend for life. October 18, 2006

I met Scott through our community association and asked him if he would be interested in helping us establish a web site for the condominium association. Over a period of two days he designed, developed, and implemented a outstanding web site with site presence, discussion forums, news groups, advertising and other capability. All services were provided through either low-cost application service providers or open source software that kept the ongoing monthly cost to less than $20 per month — a real value. I highly recommend Scott, especially to non-profits who are looking for big returns on their investment. November 9, 2006

Scott Ringo’s dedication, determination, and commitment to a project is only a reflection of the very warm and real person that he is in reality. If I were on the front lines of any project, I would automatically feel better just knowing that Scott is on board. In our work with Hurricane Katrina recovery, Scott’s compassionate heart and quick decision making netted immeasurable assets and assistance to our area in the heat of tragedy. Cool thinking, deliberate moves, and spiritual principal…these are the terms that come to mind when I think of Scott Ringo. Scott, I am proud to have you as my friend. July 16, 2007

An old saying goes “a friend in need is a friend indeed”. That statement has never been more true in my life than my association with Scott Ringo. Before I knew fully who Scott was, he had taken the enormous task of beginning a relief network for our Hurricane Katrina disaster relief efforts that are still impacting our church nine months later. He is truly a man of vision that makes it happen. May 25, 2006

“Scott has been nothing but a constant motivator and fantastic resource despite my slow in participation. I would highly recommend him for any of your non-profit ventures in the future!”
Jerry Walker (business partner)
Founder, Anoint.com
“My knowledge of Scott Michael Ringo extends solely to our interaction of some years ago. I first came to know him as a man of God. I knew him as a man of integrity; a man focused squarely on being where the Lord wanted. I am certain his time with YWAM contributed heavily to this. So the following should apply: If Scott is still laser-beam focused on fulfilling the will of God for his life, then he is as advertised, and should be trusted to bring to fruition the goals and strategies you wish to implement because he will give you his very best.”
