Reese Connect

Last but not least, the very first Reese Connect Partner, Scott Fennie! 🎉

Bailey and Scott met at Boise State University in a communications class taught by the one and only Bryant Karnes. It was during a speech that Bailey was failing miserably, and the only person making eye contact with him was Scott. Ever since that moment, they've been great friends. Seven years later, they still laugh about it, especially now that Bailey spends so much of his time speaking in front of crowds.

Scott has been helping Bailey behind the scenes since the very beginning, back when Talking Tacos was just an idea and they were trying to figure out what to call the business that would bring it all together. After tossing around different ideas, Bailey and Scott landed on the name Reese Connect.

It's hard to put into words just how much Scott has meant to Reese Connect. He's one of those people who is always willing to help, offer advice, and jump in whenever he's needed. We couldn't ask for a better friend or partner.

💻 Scott is the Founder of Grey Grid Consulting, where he helps businesses tackle complex technology challenges and build software that actually fits the way they work. As a full-stack and Salesforce developer, he combines technical expertise with a down-to-earth approach that makes even the most complicated projects feel simple.
