Scott Richards is an author, entrepreneur, and storyteller from Ohio whose career has blended creativity, strategy, and real-world experience. He holds an MBA from Northern Kentucky University and a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from Ohio Christian University, academic foundations that gave him both a sharp analytical edge and a disciplined approach to business. Before stepping into authorship, Scott built his voice as a journalist with the Chillicothe Gazette, where he earned recognition for his ability to capture stories with clarity, humanity, and impact.

Beyond the page, Scott has forged a successful career in sales, consistently ranking among the top performers in one of the most competitive industries. His work in the field has shaped his perspective on people, communication, and resilience — lessons that echo throughout his writing. At home, Scott embraces ranch life on his property, where he tends to chickens, roosters, dogs, cats, a garden, and acres of woods. The balance of caring for his land, raising his family, and building his creative work grounds his writing in both grit and authenticity.

Today, Scott channels his diverse background into crafting stories for both children and adults, ranging from joyful adventures like the Panda Stack series to deeper explorations of identity, faith, and the human experience. At the heart of every project is a commitment to connection: helping readers laugh, learn, reflect, and feel understood.
