Scott Azmus is a former Navy officer (Lieutenant Commander, Surface Warfare), deep-ocean navigator, field geologist, defense analyst, and strategist. His experience in military operations and strategic analysis, combined with his background in high-stakes environments, informs his current work as a consultant and writer in defense and strategy.
Scott’s short fiction first appeared in Aboriginal Science Fiction Magazine and Writers of the Future, where author Dave Wolverton praised his writing as “… reminiscent of the fine tales of Ray Bradbury or Zenna Henderson.” When not writing action-packed science fiction or analyzing defense strategies, Scott has a passion for beekeeping, public outreach astronomy, and exploring new cultures through world travel.
He and his wife have three grown children and make their home in S.E. Wisconsin with a goldendoodle (Ruffian) and a bernedoodle (Ripley). His stories help people understand physics, intuition, consciousness, and humanity’s place in the universe.
