About
Please Note: Please do not reach out to sell any service/tool etc. unless I have initiated contact. My personal cell is on the do not call registry and I do not answer phone numbers that are not already saved in my phone. I appreciate you wanting to share your solution, however I can not maintain 9+ vendor calls/meetings a day, which is the level I'm currently receiving.
With many years of experience, my passion is coming up with and implementing creative solutions to fix and streamline issues & eliminate inefficiencies. From managing hundreds of systems, to automating system audits down to hours instead of days, to researching security incidents and responding to them, to working with system owners to have them meet Security requirements. I believe strongly that proper, People, Process & Technology is the foundation that everything should be built on. Policy, Procedure & Documentation is key to risk mitigation, while staying cost effective. I yearn to be challenged and adapt quickly. I communicate well with others, from the years working directly with customers to the years working with owners of companies and other top level decision makers, to help them truly understand the importance of what we do to protect data in a way that is easy for those unfamiliar with IT Security to understand.
I’m always looking to learn and test new things and seek new opportunities to broaden my knowledge and abilities. I feel seeing a project to its timely completion is one of the most important things I do and I am restless until it is.
