About Me
I started my career in the Navy. As a Navy Chief, I learned what it means to lead from the front and earn respect through action. Those lessons shaped everything I’ve done since.
After the Navy, I carved out a niche in cybersecurity and data analytics, working with companies like Salesforce, Comcast, and Twitter. I’ve led high-stakes security teams, launched internal AI tools, and built threat detection programs that scaled globally. Today, I focus on making complex systems simpler, smarter, and more secure—whether that’s in tech, compliance, or civic data.
