Building on three generations of creative execution behind some of the globe’s most iconic experiential spaces, Scott Acton is no stranger to the world of luxury, experiential construction.

His entrance into this arena began with a long family history of Disney projects, projects known for being creative unusual experiences requiring innovative construction techniques. As the CEO and founder of Forté Specialty Contractors in Las Vegas, a construction and development firm specializing in the luxury residential, hospitality, restaurant, retail, nightlife, and entertainment industries, Scott is known for tackling some of the most difficult and attention-grabbing construction challenges.

For Scott, attending “Disney University” taught him the business and leadership skills necessary to build a successful career. Starting to work for his father and grandfather at the age of 16, Scott quickly developed an entrepreneurial drive that would propel him through the leadership ranks in the family business and multiple start-ups. In 2002, Scott started Trevi Manufacturing with the desire to combine manufacturing with construction, a marriage not seen within the market. His entrepreneurship led to national accolades like being named the U.S. Small Business Administration’s “Small Businessperson of the Year” for Nevada.
