CHIEF OPERATIONS OFFICER

Scott Benge graduated with a degree in Accounting and a minor in Real Estate from Ohio University. Once out of school, he earned a position performing Hedge Fund accounting at Citigroup in Columbus, Ohio. Scott grew tired of the corporate life and wanted to move out west. He accepted a job at ALPS Fund Services in Denver, Colorado where he practiced tax accounting for Mutual Funds, ETFs, and Hedge Funds specializing in partnerships, RICs, REITs, straddles, and swaps. Scott decided it was time for a change and he moved to the beautiful San Juan mountains in 2017 and joined the Telluride Consulting team. Since then, Scott has worked his way up to his current role as COO.
When Scott is not busy running the business, he spends his winters skiing local resorts or the backcountry. The spring, summer, and fall is comprised of road, gravel, and mountain biking and he is also the co race director of the Telluride 100 and Telluride Gravel Race. He has an everlasting passion for sports, particularly baseball, and loves exploring nature with his dog, Yuma. Scott is a great addition to the team and brings with him a wealth of specialized knowledge.
