Security Profesional, Project Manager, and Volunteer in Marina del Rey, CA

"Always use a strong password." I can't say that enough. And I'll probably say it a few times while you read this.* Here's why.

Being a seasoned and experienced physical security professional, I am a security technologist with solid leadership and mentoring abilities. I instill in my teams the understanding that they are the front line of protecting: people, products, and brands. I understand where entities are vulnerable and strive to help them close the gaps in physical security by adding technology to push threats further out to allow more time for the best response and outcome in every situation possible.

I have not always been devoted solely to strong passwords and cyber intelligence, and penetration prevention. I've been a lifeguard, a guide on the Appalachian Trail, and a search and rescue officer. I am also an avid sailor, currently rehabbing a 27-foot sailboat. I also volunteer at a local animal rescue center. Always use a strong password.
