About
As an energetic and intrinsically motivated Cybersecurity Professional, Agilist, IA/IT/IS Architect, and Entrepreneur I have 30+ years of experience designing, securing, implementing, and maintaining network infrastructure, cyber security, and Information Security Systems that align business and IT objectives and deliver rapid results. Successful in navigating business challenges through technological innovation. Known for uncovering opportunities and directing innovative strategies to improve operations using a variety of project and program management methodologies and techniques. I add a sophisticated, yet practical understanding of incident management, root cause analysis, design, testing, and implementation of complex network security/protection technologies for critical information, network systems, applications, and data. Often recognized for the ability to mentor individuals, create and develop effective teams, increase efficiency, foster agility, and exceed business objectives. Among my favorite things are the soft skills that blend transparency, affability, and humor to clarify and reinforce team priorities. These skills motivate me while fostering self-efficacy for others in both my technology-focused and carbon-based 'human' missions.
As a mindful, dedicated Certified Personal Trainer (ACE-CPT, NASM-CPT, SGX, & DEKA): I have over a decade of real-world experience in fitness and sports performance with success in helping others improve their health, quality of life, and realizing their goals.
