R&D Leadership · Security · Behavioral Insight
My path into technology wasn’t traditional. It’s shaped by decades of leadership in physical security, law enforcement, and industrial manufacturing, where failure has real consequences and systems succeed only when people do.
I lead cross-functional teams across R&D, operations, and supply chain, developing products and processes for large-scale food manufacturing.
This industrial background, where safety, reliability, and regulatory compliance are non-negotiable, directly informs how I approach cybersecurity and technical architecture.
My technical foundation comes from serving as a Navy Signalman and Master-at-Arms and later as an Air Force Security Forces/CATM NCOIC, years spent at the seam where policy, pressure, and human behavior collide.
I'm completing an MS in Computer Science with a focus on AI and Machine Learning. The behavioral dimension of security, understanding the why behind technical failures, not just the mechanics, is where my research is increasingly pointed.
I read the genre to examine what systems and social structures endure when everything else fails.
I enjoy playing World of Warcraft — a long-running hobby and an easy way to unwind.
A simple necessity for long-form technical work and ongoing research.
