“It’s truly an honor to be selected to serve on the Impact a Hero Board of Directors. My appreciation for our veterans’ service and sacrifice continues to grow with each person I meet and each story I hear,” says Bruce. “I have made it my personal mission to connect wounded (or combat) veterans and their families to the people searching for a way to get involved and give back to our country’s heroes.”
Scott Livingston currently serves as Senior Vice President, Global Operations, for NOV Rig Systems. His responsibilities encompass all of Rig Systems’ onshore and offshore production, supply chain, and engineering organizations and capabilities worldwide along with the well-servicing business.
