The years of my life have been a ride worth taking. After graduating high school I served in the military for 4 years as a signals support systems specialist, achieving leadership rank and distinguishing myself along the way. After leaving the service I began a decade long career in the automotive industry where, again, I worked my way into leadership and learned an immeasurable amount from those around me. Now I am embarking on a career in cyber security, operations, and resilience. The sky is the limit and there are more mountains left to climb. Excelsior!
My 'soft' skill have been honed by years of client-facing roles demanding strong deliverables and excellent relationship-building, along with leadership positions in a wide range of organizations. They include:
My technical skills are focused in cyber security, operations, and resilience, along with systems administration, and are under continuous improvement. They include:
I have an Associate of Arts degree from Boise State University, awarded in 2023, with an undergraduate certificate in Cyber Operations and Resilience.
I expect completion of a Bachelor of Science degree in Cyber Operations and Resilience in mid-2024.
I will also achieve undergraduate certificates in Project Management and Data Analysis.

I believe that it is the right of every person to have access to safe, reliable, and secure computing systems on which to carry out their work and explore their world. I see it as my mission to help myself and other achieve the goal of a safer, more secure, more trustworthy world through the power of the ethical and effective use of technology.
I enjoy hiking, camping, and backpacking in the back country and mountains around the Western United States. I look forward to exploring even further as time goes on!
I play and referee ice hockey and stay engaged in the local hockey community. I am also a fan of my local minor league professional hockey team.
I am an avid reader who cannot wait to finally have some free time again to get back into reading for pleasure!
