The Team

Scott Schwertly - The Whole Enchilada (a.k.a. The CEO)

Scott is a presentation junkie, ice hockey fanatic, and lover of cheese enchiladas. After working in marketing for several years, Scott quickly realized that 93.7% (includes mainly CEOs) of the world’s population struggles with not only designing presentations but delivering them as well. Inspired and determined, Scott decided to start Ethos3 in 2006 working as a “one man band.” For over a year, he worked early mornings, during lunches, nights, and weekends and somehow finally found enough guts to quit has salary job. Heck, he still has that schedule today. Today, Scott lives in Nashville, TN with his wife and three dogs. He has a B.A. and M.B.A. from Harding University.

Travis Robertson  - The Rainmaker (a.k.a. VP of Biz Dev)

Travis has a passion for three things: people, brands and ideas. This makes him the perfect person to head up business development and brand development. Travis joined Ethos3 in the middle of 2009 after spending 11 years in the web technology industry. Effectively “retiring” from the field of technology, Travis claimed his love of people and brand strategy kept him from wanting to sit behind a computer all day with little interaction. If there’s a party or event, you’ll probably spot him social-butterflying his way through it. In fact, you’ll probably talk to him on the phone at least once if you work with us. Look for Travis in the following places:

Cara Schwertly - The People Person (a.k.a. Exec. VP of Operations)

Cara has been with Ethos3 since the beginning. She handles all the back-end fun stuff like finance, human resources, and legal. She is probably the hardest worker on the team. However, don’t underestimate her right-brained skills – her creative ability can compete with the best. She is essentially a “Jill of All Trades.”

Rebecca Kennedy - The Networking Ninja (a.k.a. Social Media Coordinator)

Rebecca Kennedy has 2 roles at Ethos3 – Project Manager and Social Media Coordinator. She is a Certified Associate of Project Management credentialed by the Project Management Institute, and holds a bachelors degree in Print Journalism from Harding University. Before joining Ethos3, Rebecca was a project manager with Informa Investment Solutions, a financial software company. She has experience in project management, process creation and implementation, and client management. Rebecca lives in Nashville with her husband, Wes.

Brandy Nicks - The PowerPoint Princess (a.k.a. Creative Director)

Brandy Nicks totes a B.S. in Graphic Design from the University of Cincinnati’s College of Design, Archicture, Art and Planning, one of the top five design schools in the nation. She has worked for three corporate design firms, one church, and one government job at the National Park Service. From this, Brandy brings a wide range of experience to Ethos3, including print, web, identity, motion, video, production, packaging, signage, marketing, etc. She loves clean, timeless design and good typography.

Mark Alexander  - The Tarantino (a.k.a. Presentation Artist)

After being inspired by the special effects in The Phantom Menace when he was 13, Mark began using Photoshop to create his own computer generated images and artwork. Ten years later his interest in film making, has grown to encompass an appreciation and love for print, typography, and layout as well.

Meghann Roberts - The Perfectionista (a.k.a. Presentation Artist)

Since graduating Magna Cum Laude from Belmont University, Meghann has spent the last several years as a freelance print designer. Her clients have included fitness DVD celebrities, national politicians, and renowned musicians. Meghann’s text book Type A personality causes her to be an unpleasant board game competitor but a terrific designer. Her influences are Piet Mondrian, Saul Bass, Hoefler & Frere-Jones, and mid-century Scandinavian furniture. She enjoys running, cooking, and spending time outdoors with her family.

Holly Mathews  - The Pixel Pirate (a.k.a. Presentation Artist)

Holly has a BFA in Graphic Design from Watkins College of Art, Design & Film located in Nashville, TN. She recently received a Gold Student Addy for a poster design. Her love for typography, creative branding, and illustration solidifies her nerdy love for effective Graphic Design. She has many hobbies including disc golf, footbag, Settlers of Catan, and cooking. Some of her favorite things are sushi, robots, pirates, and video games.

Josh Roberts  - Yarn Spinner (a.k.a. Content Writer)

Josh graduated from Belmont University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature, wisely perceiving that specializing in his native tongue would provide certain effort-oriented advantages. He enjoys words, sentences, and other trivial elements of written language, and is thus uniquely qualified to spin yarns.
