Helping customers succeed is our passion.
Meet the Samson Team
Scott is best described as a serial entrepreneur. His passion for dreaming and doing has weaved into a diversified career that includes farming, cow/calf to cattle feeding, Purina Feed Dealership, commodity brokerage, Samson PVP, and hospitality ventures to name a few. He and his wife, Pat, have breathed new life into several downtown Columbus businesses, including Mueller's home and Samson headquarters, The Evans House. He is also grateful to have sons, Brandon and Jordan, play a supporting role in Samson PVP through their extensive knowledge in IT, accounting, and human resources. In 2021, the Mueller Family hosted the Cattlemen's Ball of Nebraska, helping raise $1.7 million for cancer research and local health care initiatives while promoting beef in a healthy diet. When not dreaming about his next business opportunity, Scott enjoys a good scotch and bringing people and different ideas together.
