2026 Hall of Fame: Scott Martzen
May 26, 2026
Scott Martzen graduated from WyoTech’s Sacramento, California campus around 2007, completing programs in Automotive Technology, Chassis Fabrication, High Performance Engines, Street Rod, and Custom Fabrication.
Scott’s passion for cars began early. He grew up wrenching and, at just 15 years old, began building his first car—a 1967 Ford Mustang. That hands‑on curiosity and drive to understand how things worked naturally led him to the trades and eventually to WyoTech, where he built the technical foundation that still shapes his approach today.
After graduating, Scott pursued a career rooted in real‑world experience. He became an ASE Master Technician, working in an independent automotive repair shop before moving on to own and operate his own business. Those early years taught him more than technical skill—they built accountability, problem‑solving ability, and a deep respect for craftsmanship and the people who rely on it.
Scott’s career evolved into the commercial truck and upfitting industry, where he expanded his expertise across service bodies, flatbeds, dump trucks, water trucks, cranes, compressors, welders, generators, and fully customized vocational builds. Having lived the work himself, he understands every step of the process—from the shop floor to the finished product to the customer experience.
Today, Scott serves as Director of Operations at Scelzi Enterprises, Inc., playing a key role in the company’s growth and direction across multiple locations and multiple states. In addition, he serves on the Ford Pro Board of Advisors, offering real‑world insight that helps shape the future of commercial vehicles and upfitting. He has also spoken at national events with NTEA, sharing his experience and perspective with the broader work‑truck industry.
In 2019, Scott’s life changed forever with the loss of his son, Maverick. That loss reshaped his priorities, grounding him firmly in what matters most—his faith, his family, and his time. Alongside his wife, Megan, Scott carries that perspective forward as they raise their youngest son, Maddox.
Scott is also the co‑founder of M30, created in Maverick’s honor to provide opportunities for young athletes regardless of background. Inspired by Maverick’s words, “I am blessed, and I will continue to be blessed, so I can bless others,” the organization turns loss into purpose and impact.
Scott believes your name is your brand. He has built his career on grit, integrity, humility, and doing things the right way—values that make his induction into the WyoTech Hall of Fame especially meaningful.
