Scott Grandy is a preparedness consultant, trainer, and the founder of White Knight Solutions Group (WKSG), a Virginia-based organization dedicated to helping individuals, families, small businesses, and faith-based organizations turn wisdom into practical readiness for life’s unexpected challenges.

Scott is a full-time federal government contractor specializing in continuity and emergency planning and brings over two decades of real-world experience to his work. He served more than 20 years in the Virginia Army National Guard, including extended periods on active duty, with roles spanning infantry, personnel administration, and emergency preparedness. Following the September 11 attacks, he served as part of a security element at a major U.S. airport and later led medical response efforts as part of an Emergency Preparedness Team. He is also a former EMT-Basic with a volunteer fire department and has completed extensive FEMA and emergency management training.

In 2022, Scott felt a clear calling to give back through church safety and preparedness, which ultimately led to the founding of WKSG. In 2026, WKSG will launch the Equipping the Saints Readiness Ministry™, offering training through a Pay-As-You’re-Led model so that no house of worship goes untrained due to financial barriers.
