Ariana Curcio

I’m Scott Specht, Director of Acquisitions and Technology at Moxie Brokerage Group. With a background spanning military service, firefighting, aviation, and entrepreneurship, I bring a results-driven and strategic mindset to every deal. After more than two decades of public service — including combat tours as an infantryman and U.S. Army helicopter pilot and years fighting fires and investigating arson in the New York City Fire Department — I transitioned into business full-time. Since then, I’ve built and represented multiple successful ventures, specializing in business sales and mergers and acquisitions. At Moxie, I work closely with business owners, investors, and entrepreneurs to structure deals that create real value — from multi-faceted corporate deals to Main Street businesses. I’m passionate about finding creative solutions, building lasting relationships, and getting deals done with integrity and precision.
