Anthony Scott, Esq.
Author/Publisher/Public Speaker/Attorney/US Marine Corp Veteran
Anthony W. Scott, Esq. (“Tony”) is the Director of Housing and Community Development for Cuyahoga County, but his work is grounded in a deeply personal journey. A first-generation college graduate, he grew up navigating family mental health challenges that shaped his perspective, resilience, and sense of responsibility. Tony speaks openly about that upbringing—not to dwell on hardship, but to honor the growth, healing, and stability he has been blessed to build over time. A U.S. Marine Corps veteran of Operations Desert Storm and Desert Shield, he returned home committed to service and impact.
Through I.S.I. Publishing LLC, Tony explores leadership, identity, self-belief, and complexity through both nonfiction and fiction. He is the author of "Unlocking Potential: Insights, Tips and Strategies for Young Black Professionals" and "Overcoming Imposter Syndrome: You Belong at the Table!"
He has also recently released another book, "Yes, Mrs. Smith", an erotic short story in the "More Money than Time" series. under the pseudonym T. Scott. Additional works in both genres are forthcoming in 2026.
At the center of his work is honesty—sharing his story not as a formula for success, but as living proof that growth is possible, even when the path is nonlinear.
