Scott R. Paden is the proud father of two boys and the husband of Dr. Merri Paden. The Paden family lives on Lake Greenwood in the small town of Ninety Six, SC. Graduating from Auburn University with a degree in Business Finance he moved quickly into a solid career in Real Estate Investment. After closing over 130 transactions in under 6 years, he attended Clemson University where he earned a Master of Forest Resources Degree. Upon completion of his latter degree, he spent considerable time as a field forester obtaining that all-important “boots on the ground knowledge”.
