That a leader as accomplished as Steve has chosen to join SOBR Safe at this stage we feel speaks to our technology’s potential to create safer environments and safer lives.”
Scofes added, “My passion has always been to exercise our legislative system to create positive change, and rarely have I had the opportunity to work with a team possessing such conviction and innovative spirit – or a solution so potentially far-reaching. Communities across the country are ready to prevent the problem, and it is this company mission that has inspired me to join the SOBR Safe team.”
