Scott Rusher 
Vice President

Scott began working at Rusher Air during summer vacations when he was 16 years old. As a truck driver and helper, he worked in the field with installers and service technicians. He also worked in the sheet-metal shop under Yury Yasnogorodsky. Scott's work includes many out-of-town jobs, most notably in Diamond Head crater in Hawaii, at the FAA air traffic control tower as well as at another air conditioning company in Maui, Hawaii.

Growing up in Southern California, Scott graduated from Mira Costa High in 1985, then from the University of Southern California in 1989. He began working at Rusher Air full time in 1989 in the service department. At that time the service side was just a small portion of the company, whose primary focus was on large commercial and industrial development. But when the economy slowed during the early 90's, the company began building up the young service department- and Scott played a key role in its development.

Under Scott's direction, the company purchased a state-of-the-art computer system (continually upgraded to keep pace with the company’s changing needs). We then acquired an entire service company, outfitted all employees with uniforms, new trucks and state-of-the-art communications as well as a vehicle location system.

Now, over a decade later, the service department has become a MAJOR force in the industry and continues to grow at a steady pace. Providing our customers with a full range of services makes Rusher the best choice.
