Over the years, his clients have included members of those professions as well as engineers, architects, pharmacists, chiropractors, executives, and owners of small businesses. A smaller, yet still significant, portion of his clients are in, or retired from, the building trades or farming. Ed Mounger, Scott’s father, was a carpentry and drafting instructor at the Minnesota State Technical College, Moorhead, and both grandfathers were farmers, so Scott understands and works well with members of those occupations.

He then formed his own practices in Fargo and the Greater Phoenix, Arizona area, where OSTB Wealth Strategies began.
