Passionate. Believer in the SMB market! Visionary for what the future of Technology can mean for small to midsize business! CyberSecurity Evangelist!

Quick summary is that I Iove building programs, growing teams and creating. I'm an engineer and problem solver at heart! Like Vanilla Ice (only 90s hip hop fans will get this) if there was a problem, yo, I'll solve it! But instead of checking out my hooks while the DJ revolves check out my business summary below!

With the ability to effectively work across cultures and teams while instilling an emphasis on customer service, empathy and security. I'm an innovative technologist, with an eagerness to Mentor and learn from others. someone who's not afraid to fail!

Personal break down: Massive gaming and TV and movie nerd, I love making things and creating with my hands from building replica movie props, electric bikes to restoring old engines. And generally learning new things. Currently I'm teaching myself to weld very very poorly.

Also, in my free time I love to help small businesses become profitable and help new people get into Cyber.
