About Scott Swerland

To Teach, Mentor and Educate. These are the three words that drive our passion for doing what we do here at Seattle Sun Tan.We have successfully built the largest privately held tanning salon chain on the West Coast in the past three years. In December of 2008 we had 5 stores open. By December 2011 we were at 34. With the recent acquisition of Desert Sun Tanning, we have grown to just under 100 units. Where will we be by 2030?I spend most of my time driving the team at Seattle Sun Tan and Desert Sun Tanning. Any additional time I spend working with start-up to medium sized companies. Helping them with various tasks such as marketing, finance, acquisitions, and overall strategy.
