I am a lifelong learner, tinkerer, explorer and admirer of nature. I teach my sons age appropriate cybersecurity topics, and also about the natural world through bird watching, amateur astronomy, raising monarch butterflies and tree frogs, treks through the woods, and the random other experiment or project. I have 22 years active duty service in the U.S. Marine Corps as an experienced team lead and planner for Cybersecurity, SIGINT, and Counterintelligence/Human Intelligence Operations with an active TS/SCI clearance. My passions and specializations are: Cyberspace & Red Team Operations (Windows AD, infrastructure, custom tooling, social engineering), Information Warfare, Team Leadership, and Technical Instruction/Curriculum Development. I owe my family, and my brothers and sisters in uniform everything - and am excited to be here to continue giving back to the communities which helped shape my journey to where I am today.
