8 years at Moto.

Eight years ago today, Scott started at Motorola. When he first began, the new hires who were recent college grads were part of a "training class" to get them acclimated to the Motorola experience. There were 17 engineers in his training class, which lasted for 3 months. Scott was part of the last round of new hires and so is one of the youngsters at Motorola today. Scott's career at Motorola has included so many valuable experiences including:

• Traveling to England, Ft. Worth, and Chicago
• Earning his master's degree in electrical engineering from Stanford
• Gaining valuable engineering and digital design skills
• Surviving several rounds of layoffs

From time to time, people have asked us, "Just what does Scott do exactly?" His answer ... "I work in the cellular industry. I don't make the cell phones themselves, but I work on the base stations that sit at the bottom of cell phone towers."

So the next time you use your cell phone, thank Scott.
