on the internet.

I'm Andy Smigelski. Scout Theory is the independent internet company I run from Medellín, Colombia, with roots in small-town Ohio. It's home to the businesses, websites, free tools and experiments I build.

Explainer

What is Scout Theory?

Scout Theory LLC is an independent internet company run by me, Andy Smigelski.

It builds and runs websites across travel, health, law, work and local business in the United States and Colombia. Some are businesses. Some are free tools. Some are guides to things I think deserve a good one.

Everything is built and run in-house, on servers I manage. If a project is listed here, I'm willing to put my name on it.
