Lieutenant Colonel (Retired) Scott Mann is a former U.S. Army Green Beret with combat tours all over the world including Colombia, Iraq, and multiple tours in Afghanistan. He is a warrior storyteller and the President and founder of Rooftop Leadership, a leadership consulting and training company in Tampa, Florida where he shares the rapport- building skills he learned in Special Forces to help today's leaders make better human connections when stakes are high and trust is low. Scott helps organizations gain a better understanding of their internal culture while exposing the potential for conflict that exists when trust has deteriorated. In the same way he empowered local tribes in Iraq and Afghanistan to make transformative decisions using very few resources, Scott teaches corporate leaders and their teams the relationship-building techniques that drove so many of his successful combat operations.
Scott is the New York Times Best-selling Author of Operation Pineapple Express and has spoken on three TED stages. He is a playwright and actor whose recent play — Last Out: Elegy of a Green Beret — explores the Afghan War and the unforeseen cost of war on our Veterans. The play has been brought to film and is available on Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, Apple TV, and VUDU. He is also currently touring with his play 11 Days: The Story of Operation Pineapple Express, based on his best-selling book.
Scott is the founder of Task Force Pineapple, where he actively advocates in Congress and on national media for the safe passage and resettlement of our abandoned Afghan Allies. He is also dedicated to helping veterans and military families find their voice and tell their story as they transition out of military service — working to bridge the civilian-military divide.
Scott has appeared on CNN, Fox, The Shawn Ryan Show, Mike Rowe's The Way I Heard It, all major networks, and syndicated radio, and has been published by the Epoch Times and the Daily Wire.
Scott's greatest accomplishments are his 30-year marriage and his three grown sons.
