Launched in 2020, this blog was born out of my passion for sharing knowledge and helping others better understand cybersecurity. I wanted to provide a resource for colleagues, friends, and family while also supporting organizations in building a strong security culture and improving their security posture. Most importantly, I believe that everyone has a role in being good stewards of cybersecurity. This platform also allows me to continue learning and growing by engaging with feedback from the cybersecurity community. I’m deeply passionate about contributing to the profession and am excited to connect with my readers as we learn and grow together.

Currently, I serve as a Cybersecurity Security Architect for IBM, where I act as a trusted advisor and technical expert, helping clients design and implement cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions. My work focuses on securing AI deployments, enhancing data security, and enabling protection across hybrid multi-cloud and cloud environments. By tailoring solutions to clients’ unique needs, I help organizations strengthen their security posture, navigate complex challenges, and adopt innovative technologies with confidence.

As a seasoned cybersecurity professional, my journey has been shaped by a strong educational foundation and a commitment to navigating the complexities of today’s security landscape. I am a proud graduate of Eastern Kentucky University, where I earned my undergraduate degree, and I later advanced my expertise with an MBA in Information Security.

My education is complemented by industry-leading certifications, including CISSP, CCSP, CBCP, and other prestigious accolades, equipping me to tackle the dynamic challenges of the cybersecurity world.

With years of hands-on experience, I have built a career dedicated to driving strategic outcomes, strengthening security postures, and empowering others through knowledge-sharing. This blog is a platform where like-minded professionals can connect, exchange insights, and explore the ever-evolving field of cybersecurity. Whether you’re just starting your journey or are a seasoned expert, I invite you to join me as we navigate the future of security together.
