From bustling construction companies to the intricate architecture of home-built cybersecurity labs, my journey spanning over 20 years in the IT and cybersecurity sector has been nothing short of exhilarating. Beginning my professional journey in Reno, NV, I quickly immersed myself in the world of computer networking, data management, and cybersecurity, ensuring that every byte of data, every packet of information, was shielded from threats lurking in the vast expanse of the digital universe.
In my time at BDM Inc., as the IT Specialist, CTO, and Co-Owner, I had the privilege to architect and maintain robust security measures that served as the first line of defense against cyber-attacks. It wasn’t just about building firewalls; it was about creating an impregnable fortress where data could thrive without fear. My dedication bore fruit as I achieved a remarkable system uptime of 99.999% for critical systems over a year, a testament to the effectiveness and reliability of the solutions I implemented.
My commitment to the realm of cybersecurity isn’t just professional—it’s personal. My home-built cybersecurity lab, featuring the advanced SIEM/UEBA architecture and tools like the Security Onion bundle, stands as a testament to my unwavering dedication to understanding and combating cyber threats. And as an avid learner, I continually enhance my skills, whether that’s diving deep into Python programming or navigating the complexities of Linux Operating Systems.
At the heart of my approach is a profound respect for collaboration and community. My tenure at LOA Solutions as Project Manager and Co-Owner was a testament to that ethos. With a keen focus on communication, I’ve worked hand-in-hand with teams, ensuring that our collective knowledge and skills were leveraged to provide optimal solutions to our clients. And through it all, my mantra has always been clear: to serve, protect, and excel.
As the digital landscape continues to evolve, so does my passion for ensuring its security. With each passing project, from designing comprehensive cybersecurity stacks for businesses to safeguarding my cryptocurrency mining architecture, my mission remains steadfast: to create a safer digital world for all. So whether you’re keen to collaborate or simply wish to embark on a cybersecurity discourse, feel free to connect. Together, we can fortify the future of the digital domain!
Beyond the digital domains and intricate cyber networks, there’s another realm I deeply cherish – the world outside, illuminated by the warm glow of a campfire. There’s an unparalleled serenity that comes with sitting around a crackling fire, watching the flames dance to nature’s silent tune, and feeling the world slow down. It’s during these moments that I often find clarity and inspiration, pondering over the intricate challenges of cybersecurity or simply letting my mind wander to the rhythm of the fire’s flicker.
Family, to me, is the cornerstone of all my endeavors. Whether it’s sharing stories around that beloved campfire or celebrating personal milestones, the joy, warmth, and unwavering support of my loved ones have been my anchor. They remind me of why I strive for excellence in my profession— to create a secure digital world not just for the clients and businesses I work with, but for the future generations of my family, and families everywhere. Their laughter, shared memories, and our collective dreams are the true treasures I safeguard, both in the digital and real world.
