I am a veteran and member of the Air National Guard. I teach courses on firewalls, EDR, SIEM, and SOAR.

I served in the US Air Force for 4 years as a cyberspace operations officer. During my time in the Air Force, I led the design and implementation of the incident response tools for US Space Force satellite systems. I also deployed with US Southern Command and was the Chief of Cybersecurity for a joint task force consisting of over 1000 personnel.

After leaving full time service in May 2021, I joined the Air National Guard to continue my service in a part-time capacity, and I began my career at Palo Alto Networks. I have been teaching cybersecurity with Evenstar Security since February 2023.
