Scott Smilen
Chief Executive Officer

I would like to begin by sincerely thanking our loyal customers and longtime partners who have supported Smilen Eyewear over the years. Your trust and continued support have been the foundation of our success. What began decades ago as a small dream grew into a company built on passion, determination, and a commitment to excellence.
From the very beginning, the fundamentals of Smilen Eyewear have been rooted in strong principles of service, integrity, and lasting relationships. These values continue to guide every decision I make. I remain dedicated to staying informed on technological advancements within the eyewear industry in order to continually improve service, offer innovative products, and provide high-quality eyewear while keeping pace with an ever-changing market.
Smilen Eyewear is proudly independently owned and operated, allowing us to stay flexible, hands-on, and closely connected to the people we serve. The focus has always been on consistency, reliability, and long-term relationships rather than short-term trends.
On a personal note, I am grateful for the support of my family throughout this journey. I am the proud parent of three children and a grandparent to two grandchildren, whose encouragement continues to inspire me every day.
On most days, you will find me in the office or warehouse, unless I am on the road visiting our accounts. Feel free to contact me directly for any customer service–related issues, anything you may need me to follow up on, or simply to say hello.

Best Regards, Scott Smilen

I joined Smilen Eyewear 20 years ago and have grown within this family-owned business built on integrity, service and long-standing relationships. Beginning in operational roles allowed me to gain a deep understanding of the company from the ground up and shaped the way I approach leadership today. As Vice President, I take great pride in working alongside my father, Scott Smilen, and supporting his vision for the company. I remain committed to upholding the standards on which Smilen Eyewear was founded while helping guide its continued growth through thoughtful leadership, accountability and a strong focus on exceptional service.

International Sales Consultant

I love playing volleyball and enjoying special moments with my family. I joined the Smilen Eyewear family 11 years ago, and although I didn’t have much direct contact with customers at the beginning, over time I discovered something within myself that I didn’t know was there. Thanks to Scott Smilen, an incredible mentor, I awakened my passion for customer service. The warm, attentive, and human touch that defines Smilen Eyewear became a part of me as well. Today, I am proud to offer our customers friendly, sincere, and caring attention, because to us, every person truly matters.
