Hey! My name's Scott Mathson, I'm a maker. Marketer. SEO. Full-stack Developer. Audio Engineer. Entrepreneur.

A musician, ideator, and fly fisherman. Small business owner, content creator—a maker!

I’ve been working on websites, brands, media, and content for quite some time. I’ve been focusing on creating, optimizing, developing, marketing, and fine-tuning everything.

I first started publishing to the web when I started a recording studio in 2008. I needed a place to promote the studio’s services, blog about releases, and host a musician's podcast. Ever since, I've been exploring new technologies, developing my skills, and with a keen attention to detail, optimizing each website, campaign, and launch that I work on.

I've had a unique journey, experiencing and pursuing a lot already, and I love it! I'm a technical-creative person with breadth and depth in a variety of areas professionally - marketing, full-stack development, audio and media production, content, SEO, brand building, and far beyond.

I happily call Missoula, MT home with my wife and our pets. This is my personal website and blog, a collection of personal musings, guitar lessons, updates on my 1971 F-250 restoration project, and other digital journaling. I've owned/operated a web consulting studio since 2011 (open to new clients), and enjoy running side projects and products under its holding company.

A couple projects and products of mine:

Plink makes smart podcast links that detects user-agents and deep link listeners to the right apps for their device. Trusted and used by customers like CBS Sports, Bloomberg, Channel 4, McKinsey & Co., SAP, UNICEF, and thousands of other podcasters, networks, and media companies. Plink is processing 8.2M monthly requests (as of 05/2021).

Scott Mathson Music is the music section of my site where I create guitar lessons, chord charts, and covers of songs. Music has always been so important to me. I'm often daydreaming about re-kindling live performances — dusting off my music equipment and taking the stage at open mic's or playing at farmer's markets. I still do write songs, it is the best form of personal and emotional expression. Check out music.scottmathson.com for more.

Makerviews exists to share, inspire, and give access to a wide variety of makers and their chosen crafts. Rooted in a deep love and appreciation of handmade, quality goods, I'm setting out to partner and collaborate with artisans and craftspeople, highlighting these makers through in-depth articles. Check out Makerviews!
