Bio

H.E. “Bud” Scruggs has learned, after more than 30 years in business, politics, government, and academia, that helping leaders reach their fullest potential is the best part of his professional life. Currently a director of Lendio, Fresh, Build Group, Avalon Advisors, and Snowbird Ski Resort as well as several other boards, Bud has had an extensive career advising high-net-worth families and their respective companies. His wide-ranging background includes working as director of both public and private companies, serving as Chief of Staff to Governor Norman Bangerter, and being a co-founder and partner of the Public Affairs Advisory Group. He earned his degree in Political Science and his JD from Brigham Young University. Bud’s parents had low expectations for his professional potential and high expectations for his personal character, which both liberated and bolstered his drive to succeed with integrity, decency, and putting clients’ interests first. But, as his mother predicted, Bud did not earn his Eagle Scout.
