Meet Our Team

Raised in Damascus, Scott’s roots in the community made it a natural fit to purchase his first independent auto parts store in 1994. In 2002, he opened his second independent store in Mt. Airy, followed by a major step in 2004, when he converted his independent locations to Carquest stores to strengthen buying power and improve parts availability. His third store in Martinsburg, WV joined the business in 2014, and he proudly opened his fourth store in Columbia, MD in 2024. In 2026, Scott and his son Tony took over the gym located in the basement of his building in Damascus, refranchising it to Damascus Health and Fitness.

From day one, his business philosophy has been simple: offer honest prices, quality products, and the best customer service. That commitment to customers – including DIYers, local garages, farms, fleets, and dealers – helped him expand steadily over the years. Scott’s success is fueled not just by his vision, but by the dedication of more than 50 employees who share his commitment to treating customers like family. Together they’ve built a trusted, community focused operation that continues to grow and evolve.

As a certified personal trainer with specialized expertise in corrective exercise, nutrition coaching, and strength and conditioning, Tony is dedicated to helping clients move better, feel stronger, and achieve lasting results. Tony’s fitness journey began in early high school, where he started training to prepare for football—an experience that sparked a passion for performance and has driven him to stay consistent in training for many years. He further developed hands-on experience through an internship at a performance center, working with athletes of all ages and skill levels.

Tony specializes in working with younger athletes aiming to elevate their performance on the field or court, as well as individuals focused on building muscle and increasing size through structured, effective training. He also works with older adults to improve mobility, keep their bodies moving efficiently, and help reduce the risk of injury and disease through safe, functional training. His approach combines science-backed methods with personalized programming to address each client’s unique goals – whether improving athletic performance, recovering from injury, or developing a sustainable, healthy lifestyle. In addition to coaching, Tony serves as a gym manager, where he supports both members and staff in fostering a positive, results-driven environment. His goal is to empower every client with the knowledge, confidence, and tools they need to succeed both inside and outside the gym.
