About Me

I got my start in technology right as the Internet was being born. For the first several years of my professional career, I worked for small software companies first as a technical writer then as a coder. From there, I expanded my coding skills and went on to write advanced business planning and analytics applications for advertising and media conglomerates. After many years as software developer, I decided to pursue a new path into cybersecurity which I practice today.

I would love to help people overcome their fears of technology and cybersecurity and realize that “cybersecurity” is just a fancy word for keeping yourself safe online.
