A Month To Celebrate: Scott Chambers

The month of May marks the 15^th anniversary of Headwater Investment Consulting.  This month we celebrate each of our employees. Let's start with our company's founder, Scott Chambers.

Scott was first an academic. He earned a Ph.D. from UC Davis and eventually moved to McMinnville to become a Professor of Finance at Linfield College. Scott focused his efforts on teaching and mentoring students. In fact, three of our employees, Tommy, Ginger, and CB, all had Scott as a professor. Outside of the classroom, Scott pursued an active and specialized research program in issues confronting endowments and foundations. He traveled around the country and the world speaking at conferences and sharing his knowledge. Scott also spent a short time as Linfield College's Interim Vice President for Finance and Administration, managing their endowment. He has been asked to consult with some of the largest nonprofit organizations in Oregon.

Scott adapted his ideas surrounding endowments and foundations into a new passion, helping people save for and live well in retirement and in 2004 became the genesis of Headwater Investment Consulting. Today, Scott’s experience continues to direct and influence the firm strategy and portfolio management philosophy. From his experience helping hundreds of clients, he has a vast knowledge base on which we draw to specializes in managing investment assets for local non-profit organizations as well as for individuals and families.
