Scott F. Paradis is a student of life, an adventurer and seeker of truth. He focuses on the fundamentals – those simple, universally accessible principles – which, if implemented help you make the most of yourself – a successful life.
Scott grew up in southern New Hampshire. He completed a thirty+ year career with the United States Army, retiring at the rank of colonel. He served tours in the Balkans in the 1990’s and in Iraq in 2005-2006. He served as a Congressional Fellow in the United States Senate and as a National Security Fellow at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. His awards and decorations include the Legion of Merit, the Bronze Star, five Meritorious Service Medals, and numerous achievement, commendation and service awards. He holds a Masters of Science from Central Michigan University and a Bachelors of Arts from the University of New Hampshire.
Scott is married to a superstar, the former Lisa Newcombe. Together they have two terrific adult children, Merideth and Mitchell.
Now living in Eagle River, Alaska, Scott and his adventure-buddy Rusty (a 90 lbs golden-doodle) explore the Great Land at every opportunity.
Scott has written nine books focused on the fundamental principles of leadership and success. He has five more books, fiction and nonfiction, under development. He has produced and published multiple audio and audio-visual programs online. And he is available to deliver KEYNOTE ADDRESSES and LIVE WORKSHOPS.
