About

With 16+ years in IT and cybersecurity—shaped by service as a U.S. Army Signal Officer and as a consultant—I’ve learned that success isn’t just about solving technical problems, it’s about leading people, building resilience, and driving innovation.

I’ve led large-scale IT operations, strengthened cyber defenses, and guided organizations as a consultant to transform complex challenges into mission-ready solutions. My leadership style centers on mentorship, collaboration, and aligning IT strategy with organizational goals—whether in government, the private sector, or consulting engagements.

Passionate about emerging tech—from Cloud and AI to IoT, OT, and cybersecurity—I thrive at the intersection of innovation and execution. My goal is straightforward: to build secure, adaptable, high-performing teams that deliver results.
