Scott Simpson
I love working with my hands. I like that at the end of every work day I can see physical results of my work. Growing up in Northbrook, my brothers and I were brought up to work hard. My parents instilled in us the sense that there wasn’t anything we couldn’t do. I feel this is why I’m not afraid of experimentation or mistakes. From the beginning of SSB, we have always gravitated to craftsmen and contractors and designers that aren’t afraid to try something new or cutting edge.
My education at Loyola Academy and Loyola University (Psychology) taught me that “all of this” is not just a selfish endeavor. It’s only good when shared. With my family. With my partners. With my clients.
I married Stacy Hetherington Simpson in 1988 and we have two awesome daughters, Emily and Harper. They are what focuses me. We recently moved back to Evanston after 19 years in Northbrook. We love Northbrook. What a great place to come from and raise my own kids. But now that Emily and Harper are out checking out the world outside of Northbrook and the North Shore, Stacy and I were looking for something different.
When I’m not building, I enjoy time with my family, woodworking, bicycling, wind surfing, or listening to music. I admire people who challenge themselves, challenge me, challenge nature, and challenge the norm.
Heroes: Nick Offerman, Sam Maloof, Bruce Springsteen, Jim Denevan, and my Mom.
Not necessarily in that order.
