My professional journey has taken me through senior roles at organizations like Amazon, USAA, Brace Industrial Group, Argo Group, and the US Army, where my contributions have been instrumental in safeguarding critical infrastructures and formulating robust cybersecurity strategies. Besides my corporate endeavors, I carry the proud badge of being a combat veteran, having served in Iraq and Afghanistan. My passion for knowledge sharing sees me as an adjunct professor and an author whose focus predominantly lies in cybersecurity. I have a BS, MS, and a Doctorate specializing in Cybersecurity Regulatory Risk and Compliance. I learned to program on an Apple 2E and have been in love with computer science ever since.
