About Me

Think Like a Bad Guy

I’m a lifelong learner with a passion for technology and, specifically, cybersecurity.  I am passionate about educating others, whether just starting their cybersecurity journey, or a seasoned pro looking to share ideas.

I’ve been in the technology field for over 30 years, and have led software development, network engineering, DevOps, technical architecture, Information Security, and infrastructure.  Working in multiple industries, such as the federal government, telecommunications, financial technology, manufacturing, healthcare, and consulting has allowed me to gain a deep understanding of the needs of these various entities.

I have multiple industry certifications, and am a Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP), Information Systems Security Management Professional (ISSMP), Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) among others, including Microsoft and AWS.

I love speaking to groups of all demographics, and if you’d like me to present, just drop me a note and we can work out the details.

Regardless, I hope you learn something by being here – or help me learn something new!  I’m always looking for thought partners!!
