About
Built for operators.
Clear for leadership.
I help small and mid-sized organizations strengthen their security posture without the complexity of enterprise programs. Through CyberCore Security, I deliver vulnerability assessments, network and endpoint reviews, hardening guidance, and ongoing consulting—always in plain language with prioritized, actionable findings.
Day-to-day I work in mission-critical IT environments: enterprise desktop and network support under DoD standards, vulnerability tooling (ACAS, STIGs, RMF), and automation that keeps teams moving. That operator experience shapes every engagement—security that supports operations, not the other way around.
