Faculty / Instructor
I have been supporting the DoD for 10 years with a focus on cybersecurity from a Windows System Administrator, to a Information System Security Manager, and currently am at the Director level of Cybersecurity.
I have 10+ years experience supporting the DoD/DoW working at companies such as Anduril, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, and NAVAIR. I also have an M.S. in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance, as well as hold the CISM, Linux+, Pentest+, SecurityX, Security+, and other certifications. I have a deep passion ingulf myself in the cybersecurity world to be constantly learning. I find myself into the late night hours of the night sitting in my virtual lab, crafting my skills and abilities, gaining more knowledge, and just continue to learn. Away from the cybersecurity world, I love spending time with my family, try to squeeze time into to play guitar, and have been a USSF soccer referee for the past 8 years and spend some of my weekends running up and down the pitch!
