Faculty / Instructor
Courses Taught
With nearly two decades of IT and advanced security experience, I specialize in preparing the next generation of cybersecurity professionals to protect modern digital ecosystems. My background includes over 14 years as a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and defense contractor supporting military aviation and space IT operations. As an ISC2 Authorized Instructor holding credentials like the CISSP, CompTIA Security+, SecAI+, and TAISE and an MS in Information Security, I love guiding students through everything from foundational concepts to advanced exam prep. My ultimate goal in the classroom is to translate complex security domains into practical, real-world skills, ensuring you walk away with the technical tools and strategic mindset needed to thrive in the industry.
We hire working professionals who want to bring their experience into the classroom. If you are active in IT, healthcare, or business and want to help students get where you are, we would love to talk.
Teaching at CIAT is flexible and collaborative. You will be part of a faculty that takes real-world relevance seriously.
