Background and Industry Experience

I have been working with computers, networks, and cybersecurity over 20 years. I currently do cybersecurity for the beginning stages of construction and automation of critical infrastructure sites. My main focus is water and waste-water treatment plants. I hold multiple industry certificates from several different industry certification bodies including CompTIA, ISC(2), Cisco, Juniper, Cradle Point, Google, and more. I also hold four associate degrees and a bachelors degree in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance. For fun, I like to expand my technical knowledge as much as I can. I guess I’m a bit boring at that.
