About Me
Scott Bemis has been a fixture in the Denver business community for more than 25 years. He built relationships and developed partnerships through his leadership with American City Business Journals. After leading Business Journals in Indianapolis, Rochester, and Cincinnati, Scott served as President and Publisher of the Denver Business Journal from 1996-2014. He also represented EKS&H/PM with many organizations and efforts in Denver and Colorado from 2014 to 2020.
Raised in Ohio (his first six years on a dairy farm), Scott has called Denver his home for the past 26 years. Upon moving to Denver, he immediately became immersed in the business community, building long and personal relationships with some of the most successful and influential business professionals in the city. His decades of business experience have provided him with an extensive catalog of connections in practically every aspect of business.
Scott would regularly be asked if he “knew someone who….” In most cases, he was able to provide such a connection. Realizing he possessed an extensive pool of contacts and because he loves connecting people, the seed for BBP was planted.
Because he also firmly believes in “paying it forward,” Scott’s passion outside of work includes mentoring 25 young business professionals and working with the Colorado Department of Corrections to reduce recidivism rates by properly preparing returning citizens for reentry.
A devoted family man, nothing is more important to Scott than spending time with his wife Pat, his brothers, sisters, sons, daughters, and grandchildren.
