Member Spotlight: Scott Esterly
Name: Scott Esterly
Occupation: Owner, Esterly Photography LLC
Neighborhood where you live: Detroit Shoreway
Tell us a bit about yourself (family, hobbies, anything else interesting you’d like to share):
My wife (Emily) and I live with our dog (Scruffy). We love our neighborhood restaurants (like Astoria and Minh Anh). We also love traveling – we have been to Italy, France, Portugal and Spain in the past few years. 
How long have you been a member of the City Club?
6+ years
Tell us about a recent forum that you enjoyed:
The Jon Pinney, “Dead Last: Northeast Ohio’s Economy is Lagging and It’s Time to Do Something About It” forum from last year was quite the event! It rocked the boat.
Why you are a member of the City Club?
A high school teacher took me downtown for a City Club forum. I eventually pursued a political science degree and worked in government affairs for more than a decade before starting my photography business. I always attributed that high school visit to a City Club forum to helping me figure out what I wanted to pursue.
What’s one of your favorite ‘hidden gems’ in Greater Cleveland? (restaurant, park, attraction, museum, etc.)
Gene’s Place to Dine at Kamm’s Corners.
What tip would you share with someone who is attending their first forum at the City Club?
Don’t be afraid to chat with the other people at your table. You could be sitting next to a new client or a new friend.
