Artūras Antanas Skučas was born on March 7, 1960. Skučas was trained as an architect. He also was an avid competition handgun shooter, the editor of Sąjūdžio Žinios, the first non-governmental periodical publication in what was then still Soviet-occupied Lithuania, one of the founders of the Savanoriai (the volunteer military), and created and was the director of the Apsaugos Skyrius, which was the first non-Soviet controlled and entirely new intelligence and protective force within the then de facto boundaries of the Soviet Union. He is the father of four children, is married to Eglė (Martinaitytė) Skučienė, and is employed as an officer in the Lithuanian army. He has published two books of poetry. The latest, Einu/The Roadling (2006), is Lithuanian with an English translation. Also in 2006 Skučas had his first exhibition of photographs.
