01 / The Person
A Life Less
Ordinary.
I've always been fascinated by what's possible.
I'm Scott Stoneburner — an entrepreneur, creative, collector, and lifelong student of the human experience.
My path has crossed banking, technology, biotechnology, entrepreneurship, photography, art and music.
I'm a United States Air Force veteran and an MBA graduate, but those are only a few chapters of the story.
I've followed ideas that became businesses, ideas that didn't, and ideas that led somewhere entirely unexpected.
Each has taught me something about curiosity, resilience and the value of beginning.
I believe life is richer when we keep learning, making things, meeting people and staying open to possibility.
— Scott
What I Believe
A Few Things
Worth Living By.
There's always something new to discover — and a better question to ask.
Ideas are only the beginning. Making something real is its own adventure.
The freedom to think independently and pursue a life of your own design.
The people we encounter often become the most meaningful part of the journey.
02 / Creative Life
The Art of
Being Alive.
Photography, music and art are different ways of paying attention — to a moment, a feeling, a place or another person.
Music / Rhythm / Connection
The Soundtrack
to My Life.
Some things are better felt than explained.
From the funk and soul of house music to the emotion of progressive sounds, music has always offered a way to move beyond the ordinary.
As DJ Stoneburner, I explore rhythm, energy and connection.
Through HouseLabs.Live, I help bring DJs and music lovers together to learn, share and create.
Through My Lens
People. Places.
Nature. Life.
Moments worth noticing. Light worth chasing. Stories told without words.

A World
of Art.
Art can connect people who might never otherwise meet.
Through collecting, curating and collaborating with artists, I've come to appreciate not only the work itself, but the relationships and conversations that grow around it.
Decco.Art is one expression of that curiosity — a way to discover creative people and make new connections possible.

Built.
For me, entrepreneurship is another form of creativity: bringing together people, ideas and resources to make something that didn't exist before.

04 / The Curious Mind
An Ocean
of Ideas.
The more I learn, the more I realize how much remains to be discovered.
Science, philosophy, technology, history, liberty and the human experience — I'm drawn to the questions that make us reconsider what we think we know.
Books have introduced me to unfamiliar worlds and challenged me to see familiar ones differently.
