About

Born in a small town in Tennessee and raised outside of Washington, DC, Scott Steger spent most of his youth exploring education, employment, and high-adrenalin recreational activities. Scott’s educational background includes Criminal Justice, Psychology, and Administration and Management. Scott holds a Bachelor of Science and three Associate’s degrees from Embry Riddle where he was an instructor for four years on a teaching fellowship. He applied his technical background in motorsports and aviation where he raced, built, and repaired many types of motorized conveyance from aircraft to boats, motorcycles and cars. Growing up on a farm provided the work ethic that has been the foundation of a successful entrepreneurial career. Scott has created and operated several small businesses, eventually landing in the nonprofit sector where he grew a small, two-person company into a multimillion-dollar national nonprofit serving hundreds of thousands of families and youth annually. Always one to be involved in the local community, Scott served as a board member for the Port Orange South Daytona Chamber of Commerce for eight years where he co-chaired the Education Committee. Drawing on his skills as an instructor and his 20-plus years’ experience in service-oriented industries, Scott travelled the country for several years, teaching government personnel the skills and tactics necessary to combat the drug epidemic in the US and abroad. He’s had the honor of presenting in front of service members of the US Armed Forces, FBI, DEA, US Marshals, and dozens of state and local law enforcement agencies. He has worked extensively with National Guard leadership and members, training them on the fundamentals of substance abuse prevention and education of a youth population. Scott is fluent in grant writing and government contracts and has received awards ranging from $50K to $4.6M over 20 years of applications. Over his career, he has been responsible for the receipt and management of more than 30 million dollars in government grants and contracts, overseeing the national implementation of several public safety education and implementation programs. With each, he further developed his skills in the measurement and reporting of reach and result to prove value to his grant underwriters. Ready for a new challenge, Scott returned to the private sector in 2013, when he formed EXIT Real Estate Property Solutions. Scott had been a Realtor from 1986 thru 1990, when he held a real estate license in Virginia, working for Town and Country Realty until moving to Florida to attend Embry Riddle. While this path took him away from real estate for a time, his wife Gina had found her passion and success in the field, and he was ready to join her. Scott purchased the most noticeable building on the busiest street in New Smyrna, Flagler Avenue, and they opened the doors in January 2014. In June of 2014, Scott was recruited to the board of the Flagler Avenue Business Association (FABA) and was elected President. Scott served as FABA President from 2014-2018, where he was responsible for interaction with City, County, and State officials on the promotion of businesses on Flagler Avenue and throughout New Smyrna Beach. As a founding board member of Foundation37 Scott has the opportunity to continue his service to others by providing funding for those less fortunate. In 2015 Scott opened the second EXIT REPS office in South Daytona where he owns an office building on US 1. This location also houses High Octane Printing, another of Scott’s endeavors, a boutique print shop for local businesses. Through High Octane, Scott can ensure that local nonprofits get great deals and that his agents receive high-priority, cost-effective, top-quality products. In 2016, Scott opened the third EXIT REPS office in Venetian Bay and is now the only real estate office serving that community and the surrounding area. Scott has been a proud resident of Port Orange for the last 20 years and is a serving board member of the Southeast Volusia Chamber of Commerce. He is looking forward to the next 20 years growing a thriving business and serving where he’s needed in his community.
