About

Hi!

My name is Scott and welcome to Unknown Heights...a space where curiosity, creativity, and aspiration come together.

This project grew from a simple idea: that sharing my journey, struggles, and learnings could spark something in myself and others. I don’t know the heights I can reach, but I believe the process of striving, step by step, lesson by lesson, is worth documenting and sharing.

Here, you’ll find several kinds of reflections:

1. My journey - honest updates about my aspirations, the projects I’m working on, and the challenges I face along the way.
2. Behind the work - insights into my different types of passion projects (creative, government, community work) and the lessons learned from building them out.
3. Inspiration points - books, articles, people, and quotes that fuel my thinking and light my spark.
4. Actionable takeaways - small, practical steps that I’m applying in my own life, offered for anyone who may find them useful.

My background is rooted in hustle: the kind that isn’t glamorous, but necessary. Hustle, for me, has always meant turning scarcity into possibility, building something out of almost nothing.

The drive comes from the conditions I grew up in...as a child of immigrants, learning early how to navigate systems for myself and my family, as a nonprofit director, wearing every hat imaginable just to keep the work alive, and as an artist, carrying creativity quietly because it wasn’t always valued in my family.

Each of these roles shaped how I move through the world: resourceful, persistent, and always looking for ways to build something greater than what I started with.

Unknown Heights isn’t about perfection or polished success. It’s about the process of aspiring toward something greater while inviting others to reflect, adapt, and perhaps take away something for their own journeys.

This is your semi-regular dose of aspiration. Thank you for joining the ride.
