Work-Life Balance

Because family is one of our core values, our team prioritizes a work-life balance for team-members. This means logging off at the end of our workdays and having supervisors who care for the wellbeing of the people on their team.
Serving Together

As part of our generosity initiative, we look for opportunities to give back to our local community in Billings, Montana and beyond. We provide opportunities for employees to volunteer and serve at non-profits in our community.

Scott Burns

National Sales Director

Background

I am a passionate educational sales leader that has been in the industry for over 22 years and I am excited to help Home Science Tools grow into a leading organization within the K-12 science market and beyond.

Why I Do What I Do

My fourth grade Teacher - Mrs. Brandt - I have always believed that being an Educator is one of the most challenging and rewarding professions. As a student who struggled in school, I never would have reached my potential or be the person I am today without an amazing educator who did everything to inspire me to never give up and to believe in myself. I now have an opportunity with HST to help any educator or parent bring that same joy of learning with hands-on science resources in school and at home.
