Eugene Freeland

Eugene has an inherent eye for success, knowing the right path to take on both an individual project level, as well as long-term company success. After graduating from West Point with a Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering, he served in the US Army Corps of Engineers. He received his MBA from The University of Texas at Austin and worked as a Certified Public Accountant for Coopers & Lybrand. Eugene joined a to-the-trade furniture and fabric manufacturer in Dallas as the CFO/COO in 1998 where he helped manage the company through a tremendous ten-year growth period. As a partner with the company's two original owners, he co-founded four successful furniture and textile companies serving the design industry. Drawing on that success and experience, Eugene founded Link Outdoor in January 2008 and serves as the company's President.

A graduate of Stephen F. Austin State University with a Bachelor of Business Administration, Scott began his career with one of the country’s premier luxury design showrooms. Over the course of 20 years, he advanced from the sample department through increasingly senior sales and management positions, ultimately becoming General Manager of the company’s Dallas and Houston showrooms. During his tenure, Scott developed a comprehensive understanding of the luxury furnishings business while building longstanding relationships with leading interior designers, architects, and industry professionals.
