Scott is a published author since 2005. His upcoming book, Echo in Ramadi, is a 10-month snapshot in time that changed the face of operations on the battlefield; a captivating story of Echo Company, 2d Battalion, 4th Marines during the Second Battle of Ramadi in support of the Multi National Forces (MNF) Surge Strategy in 2006. His true-life account provides keen insights into what may be an unfamiliar world to readers, but very familiar to those, like Scott, who lived it and endured this historic fight. Echo in Ramadi was written to honor the sacrifices and spirit of his Marines and the families they supported - it is his tribute to them and his honor to tell this great story. Readers will feel the pain, emotion, laughter, intensity, and friction that Scott describes in unvarnished detail.
He has written numerous articles and scholarly pieces for The Marine Corps Gazette (Marine Corps Association) and Military Times (Sightline Media Group.) He has been a technical writer and author to U.S. Marine Corps doctrine shaping the future of training within the world’s most elite branch of service.
He is the creative author on writing the standard operating procedures (SOP) for Marine Expeditionary Units (MEUs), America’s first response force, with The Lightning Press.
Scott is a formally trained instructor and public speaker with 25 years of experience teaching and connecting with his audiences, both in the military and private sector. He has spoken to audiences as large as 2,000 conveying his thoughts, intent, and goals to motivate, inspire, and empower. Scott’s natural, outgoing style allows him to humbly connect and translate his experiences to audiences.
With the willingness to share his unique story and experiences, Scott dedicates his time to travel to military bases, Veterans hospitals, corporate leadership conferences, Gold Star Mothers events, and a multitude of venues to read and publicize the story of his epic journey and struggles. He is continually sought out to provide Professional Military Education to active duty units to speak on leadership and his combat experiences - and the importance of writing about them.
