Scott Gattshall

Field Operations Manager, West/Central FL Market

Construction is a very demanding industry filled with its fair share of challenges. Sometimes that competitive nature can seep into an organization and cause division. Foresight doesn’t have that issue. Here, we all look out for each other, and support one another with the common goal of helping people and our company be successful.

Scott Gattshall serves as Foresight’s Field Operations Manager for the West/Central Florida market. He prides himself in fostering an environment geared toward the success of his team and his clients. Going above and beyond to take care of their needs and simplifying a sometimes complex building process delights clients and gives them peace of mind. It’s an approach Gattshall brought to Foresight when he began working with the company in 2018.

Throughout his 25-year career, he has worked in every aspect of the industry; running large projects in education, institutional, medical, and the private sector as a Superintendent and Project Manager. Prior to joining Foresight, Gattshall was the Facilities Director for 8 years with a school district in the Gainesville area. As private section construction began heating up, he looked for a firm positioned to grow.

Gattshall is a veteran who proudly served in the United States Navy as a rescue swimmer aboard the USS American. After completing his military service, he attended the University of Florida and graduated with honors from the prestigious M.E. Rinker School of Building Construction.

For the past 37 years, Gattshall has called Gainesville home. He loves its college town atmosphere and lack of traffic jams. In his spare time, he enjoys golfing and riding motocross with his son. To him, any day spent outdoors in nature is a good day.
