Scuba Scott makes an appearance in the Gulf of Mexico

And then there were seven! Please join us in welcoming the newest member of our Outside Sales Team, Regional Manager, Scott Miller.

Scott comes to us from Libbey and will be taking over the South region – Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Arkansas. Nineteen of his twenty-one years of foodservice industry experience has been based in Texas, which will allow him to reach out and develop those customer relationships further in order to aggressively grow the territory with Houston’s.

Not only is Scott excited to get back to his roots in the great state of Texas, but he is also excited to “work alongside the people I have worked with at Houston’s for the last 2 years in Seattle/Oregon markets.” Scott took over the Pacific Northwest Region for Libbey after the retirement of long-time Libbey Rep, Carol Haskell, in 2015. During that time, he’s had the opportunity to get to know Houston’s on many levels – from working in the field with Matt Clark and Angie Lightening, to preparing quotes for Inside Sales, and providing back order and PDP information for Purchasing.

As Scott joins our team at Houston’s, he is faced with the task of expanding his knowledge base to include numerous product categories outside of his expertise in glassware. As a testament to his personality, Scott remains optimistic and excited about this new journey, ” I have been provided a great opportunity to do something different in the industry and I look forward to the challenges. Houston’s has a great reputation in the industry and I am proud to be part of this team.”

Triathlon training

Outside of work Scott enjoys scuba diving, hunting, offshore fishing, mountain biking, and road biking. He also regularly trains for Olympic triathlon competitions with a goal of completing a Half-Ironman in the next 18 months. A recent injury has forced Scott to take a short break from training, but we suspect he’ll be back at it as soon as he can.

In addition to training for his new position, triathlon training, and all his hobbies, Scott is in the process of moving from Washington back to his home state of Texas. Be sure to say hello next time you see Scott in the office, and ask about his latest competition or fishing trip.

Until then, welcome to the Houston’s team, Scott! We are happy to have you with us! And we hope that broken ankle heals quickly.
