Scott is an entrepreneur from Québec with a big passion for action sports. After many years working in a shop while completing an engineering degree, Scott teamed up with 2 friends to start Axis boardshop in 2002. What started out of a passion for action sports turned into an immediate success.

Axis quickly became a staple in the Québec action sports scene with their deep involvement in the freeskiing, snowboarding and skateboarding scene. After a decade in business, Axis had a total of 9 shops open in the province of Québec before going back to only one physical location in the mid-2010s. Axis is now over 20 years old and still going strong in st-sauveur, Québec.
