William “Bill” Scroggins

Dr. Anthony Scroggins is a U.S. Army Veteran, performance and prevention scientist, and founder of Delta Summit. He integrates cognitive psychology, behavioral science, and applied performance research to build evidence-based solutions for the people who operate in the highest-stakes environments: service members, Veterans, first responders, and the leaders responsible for them.

Anthony’s path into performance science began in the U.S. Army, where he served four years on active duty and was awarded the Soldier’s Medal, the Army’s highest peacetime valor award, for intervening in a knife attack while stationed in Germany. After leaving the Army, he earned a Ph.D. in Psychological and Brain Sciences from the University of California, Santa Barbara.

For much of the following decade, Anthony served as a federal research psychologist at the U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences, where he designed and led seven evidence-based leadership and resilience development programs for U.S. Army Special Operations Command, conventional forces, and U.S. Marines across three continents. His work focused on enhancing the cognitive readiness, decision quality, and psychological resilience of personnel operating in cognitively demanding, trauma-exposed environments. He also contributed to NASA’s Human Research Program, developing crew performance solutions for the upcoming Mars mission, and he served on the Chief of Staff of the Army’s Science Advisory Group, where he contributed to the development of the Army’s human system domain in preparation for Multi-Domain Operations and Large-Scale Combat Operations.

Most recently, Anthony served as the Director of Research and Program Development for the Office of the Army Chief of Chaplains at the Pentagon, where he stood up the organization’s research program. His program focused on strengthening psychological readiness and reducing harmful behaviors, including suicide, across the Army. He contributed directly to executive briefing materials presented to the U.S. Senate and House Armed Services Committees on the Army Chaplain Corps’ suicide prevention initiatives.

In 2023, Anthony founded Delta Summit, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business through which he brings that same rigor to federal and Veteran-serving missions. Delta Summit designs, trains, and evaluates evidence-based programs across human performance, resilience, suicide prevention, moral injury, and program evaluation, pairing behavioral and prevention science with deep military and Veteran experience to solve hard human-dimension problems. His work centers on practical, science-based solutions for the people who give the most and are too often supported the least.
