Scott founded Heart To Beat after recognizing a gap in how prepared most organizations were for emergencies. A former EMS Captain in a large Baltimore-area fire department, he oversaw nearly 55 EMS personnel and spent his career responding to critically ill and injured people — experience that shapes every program the company builds.
Today he leads Heart To Beat's team of seasoned law enforcement and emergency services professionals, partnering with organizations from 25 to 25,000 employees nationwide. Scott is a graduate of Loyola Blakefield and Loyola University Maryland, and holds instructor and provider certifications from the Maryland Fire Rescue Institute, the American Heart Association, the American Red Cross, ASHI, and the American College of Surgeons. He remains an active volunteer firefighter and serves on the Board of Directors at Northwest Hospital.

Dr. McCoy provides the clinical oversight behind Heart To Beat's training and protocols. He is an attending physician in the emergency department of one of Maryland's largest hospital systems and has practiced full-time emergency medicine since 2010.
He is board-certified in family medicine and sports medicine by the American Board of Family Medicine, and in emergency medicine by the American Board of Physician Specialists, with additional certifications in Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS), Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS), and Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS). Dr. McCoy has also served as a director of sports medicine and as medical director for several private organizations.
