Survive or Die

AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY

 

Ivan Michael Scott is a professional civil engineer with experience in major infrastructural projects. His heritage is South African, and in 1994 he immigrated to Canada with his wife and two children: Nicola (16 years old then) – now an attorney in Los Angeles and married to an American attorney (has one son); and Simon (14 years old then) – now an RCMP for 12 years in the lower mainland ( has a daughter and a son).

Ivan has had a successful forty-year career in both the corporate and private company environments, including executive positions in a very large North American company. Always attempting to epitomise the concept of being “world-class” in business, he has extensive knowledge of - and a passionate commitment to - business innovation and solutions at the practical and professional levels.

He holds a BS in civil engineering and he has completed executive management programs at Duke University in the United States and Queens University in Canada. A registered professional engineer in British Columbia, he currently lives in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada, with his wife (Merle) of forty years and their Jack Russell terrier named Jinx.
