Scott Gibson

A seasoned reporter and editor, Scott Gibson came to work at The Taunton Press in 1992. He worked on Fine Woodworking, Home Furniture, and Threads magazines, but home building became his focus. In 2001 he became a freelancer and has worked for several media outlets. We’re grateful for Scott’s contributions to Fine Homebuilding and Green Building Advisor. With his retirement, we say goodbye to one of the most prolific building journalists of our time.
