About

Scott Koyich has driven the DSK and BRISCO strategy since inception, parallel to his personal investment strategies.

By carrying a balanced portfolio of equities representing varied business or commodity sectors, one can lessen volatility and offsets portfolio depreciation. Scott has taken this strategy and applied it to the client base for both DSK Consulting Ltd and Brisco Capital Partners Corp. DSK and Brisco represent equities from a multitude of sectors, a something for everyone approach. This lessens the business risks and increases the chances of representing winners in almost every business cycle. Scott has earned the respect of the investment community by representing companies with strong management, corporate vision and unwavering strategy with integrity and honesty.

Scott also has a passion for life which often crosses over into other business environments. He is a partner in one of Western Canada’s top restaurants, The Metropolitan (Calgary, AB) and is also Co-Producer of Hollywood and Vines, starring his business partners and Canadian celebrities; Terry David Mulligan and Jason Priestley.

Hecho is a premium tequila soda created to be the perfect canned cocktail. While no tequila drink is better than the other, our go-to has always been Tequila blanco and soda. 100% agave. It will always only be just two ingredients away, but who wants the chore of mixing cocktails when you’re with amigos. So, we created Hecho Tequila Soda, the classic cocktail with the informal convenience that “session beer” provides while also delivering on taste and authenticity.
