I am a technology executive, cybersecurity professional, author, educator, and public servant with over 25 years of experience in IT and security.

I serve as Director of Platform Engineering, leading infrastructure strategy, multi-cloud operations, and security governance across a cloud-first enterprise. I teach cybersecurity and IT at four universities and I am completing a PhD in Information Technology at the University of the Cumberlands.

I currently hold 30 professional certifications including the CISSP and CISM, and have written the CISSP examination for ISC2 twice. I earned an MBA from Purdue University and a BS in Information Technology from DePaul University.

Beyond my professional work, I serve on technology boards, an InfraGard member, and a former firefighter.
