Scott Bigler
Scott and Chris Bigler have funneled their passion for Southern Utah by morphing the status of their 37-year Boulder vacation home into a full-time residence upon their retirement in 2012. Scott comes from a business background in basic construction materials: concrete, gravel products and site development. Scott has had the opportunity of serving on several diverse boards, i.e, Associated General Contractors, Duchesne County Chamber of Commerce, Small Business Development Centers, an international captive insurance company, serendipitously called Boulder Insurance, the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association, et al., and is currently a board member of Boulder Community Alliance. Scott looks to use his business background to further the quality service goals of the Wayne Community Health Centers. He believes having quality health care available in deeply rural Garfield County has far reaching effects on the overall vibrancy of our communities. Scott & Chris are the parents of 3 children and 12 grandchildren, all living on the Wasatch Front, therefore, they find themselves on the road quite often.
