Scott R. Jensen writes fantasy and science fiction for teens and young adults. Over the years, his writing has received several awards, including Honorable Mention and Silver Honorable Mention in L. Ron Hubbard’s Writers of the Future Contest.
Scott was born and raised in Payson, Utah. After graduating from high school, he accepted an incredible opportunity to move to Colombia, South America for religious service. Two years later, Scott returned to the United States and earned a B.S. from Brigham Young University and an M.S. from Utah State University, both in Mechanical Engineering. His twenty years of engineering experience include design and analysis of satellite control systems, design of nuclear waste processing equipment, nuclear facility design, and fire protection engineering for nuclear facilities.
Scott and his amazing wife currently live in Southeastern Idaho. Two of his children have moved on to bigger and better things (Scott finds himself ridiculously proud of everything they do). His two younger children–who also give him endless reasons to brag–still live at home. Scott threatens the dog regularly with all sorts of terrible things, but no one believes him–least of all the dog. The entire family enjoys hiking, camping, spelunking, rock climbing, whitewater rafting, and ridiculously long walks (50k+).
