Steven Ohren co-founded SCO Advisors (which was formerly known as Leonard & Ohren Strategic Advisory and Brokerage) in 1982 to serve the brokerage and marketing needs of greater Los Angeles and those of Pacifica Capital Group, a real estate investment and development firm he also co-founded.

Mr. Ohren started his career in the brokerage industry, where he quickly became a top producing broker in Southern California from 1977 through 1981.  He specialized in large industrial and office transactions and represented several Fortune 50 companies, including the major aerospace companies in El Segundo.

Mr. Ohren graduated from UCLA with a Political Science degree and was active in civic affairs, including serving two terms on the Centinela Valley Union  High School District Board of Education.  In addition, he founded The Steven Ohren Foundation, a non-profit organization assisting elderly Jewish individuals in need of financial assistance.

In 2008 Mr. Ohren passed away after a battle with cancer.  However, his guiding principles of integrity driven business and long term, mutually beneficial relationships continue to serve as the firm’s guiding principles.
