recovering big firm lawyer, Obama campaigner, founding member of the CFPB, current Googler* and trying to build affordable housing in SF, always Wisconsin

a brief introduction

please navel gaze with me for a moment.

my name is Scott Pluta and I now have my own website.  why you ask, when I’m not selling anything and Facebook exists, well, I’ll get to that later.  but for now just assume this is a good idea.

what I can say is that I’m one of the luckiest people ever to have lived.  my family is amazing.  I had a Norman Rockwell-like upbringing,  received an outrageously good [mostly] public education, have fantastic friends and colleagues, and my career has been more fulfilling than I could have ever imagined.  that last thing - my career - has allowed me to learn a thing or two about a thing or two (and not always fun lessons either).  and while I hesitate to add to the noise that is the internet, with the appropriate level of humility and reservation, I’m hoping to add a signal or two.
