I am a driven and motivated person who works hard to achieve my goals. I have multiple skill sets that I have acquired over the years from both professional and academic education, as well as self taught practices. I have a practiced knowledge of various methodologies and tools required for computer and network vulnerability assessment and exploitation, in addition to the understanding of information assurance policies and procedures required to enforce safety practices. I have studied and practiced all realms of computer security, however; my personal interests are in the areas of social engineering and physical security. It is commonly accepted the human element is the weakest interface on any network, and because of this, I strive to find new ways to use old practices to exploit these weakness. By doing so, I hope to educate people and companies on ways to ever better their information security.

As much as I love computers and technology; I also love the outdoors and try to go hiking, camping, and/or Jeeping as much as possible, often bringing my dogs along for the experience. A perfect weekend often involves taking a 4x4 trail as far as it will go, setting up the trailer, then hiking to a place with great weather and a better view.
