About Scott

Scott Bishop is the owner and CEO of Ornament Shop, a more than 40-year-old Christmas ornament company now based in Hudson, Wisconsin.

His path to owning a Christmas business was not exactly planned.

Scott graduated from Michigan State University and began his career at Walt Disney World before spending nearly two decades with Ecolab. Over the years, his work took him from frontline sales and service roles to Lean Six Sigma, acquisitions, business transformation, executive leadership and global responsibilities.

It also took him all over the place.

Since high school, Scott has lived in 10 states and moved repeatedly for work, leading teams and businesses across the United States while also working internationally. That variety gave him an unusually broad view of how companies operate—from the customer and sales side of the business all the way through operations, people development, strategy and M&A.

Eventually, after years of helping improve other businesses, Scott decided he wanted to own one himself.

He acquired Ornament Shop in 2024 and has since led its relocation from Ohio to Wisconsin, modernized much of its technology and operations, expanded its personalization and printing capabilities, and built a new local team around the business.

Scott remains a very hands-on owner. He is equally comfortable working on long-term strategy or getting pulled into whatever problem happens to need solving that day. He has never been particularly good at accepting “that’s just how we’ve always done it” as an answer.

Thirteen years of rugby may also explain both his tolerance for controlled chaos and his general belief that most problems can be solved if everybody keeps moving forward.

It also taught him something that has stuck: It’s hard to beat a guy who refuses to stay down.

Outside of work, Scott enjoys woodworking, cooking, fishing and aquariums. He and his wife, Cami, live in Hudson with their four children.

For all the systems, logistics and operations behind Ornament Shop, Scott believes the business is really about something much simpler: helping people remember the moments that matter.

An ornament can mark a new baby, a wedding, a first home, a favorite pet, a family tradition or someone we never want to forget. Years later, it comes back out of a box and brings that story with it.

Scott’s goal is to preserve what has made Ornament Shop special for more than four decades while building it strong enough to carry those traditions forward for many more.
