I have a very broad range of experience and enjoy working both as a manger of skilled professionals and hands on as an engineer. Over the course of my career, I've had exposure to just about every aspect of cyber-security and worked with a wide variety of tools, technologies and vendors.I am currently employed as a Senior Information Security Consultant at First Information Technology Services, a talented and growing cybersecurity and consulting agency that helps clients meet complicated security and compliance requirements with a particular focus on the federal governments FedRAMP program. I act as a team lead on one of FITS audit and advisory teams performing consulting engagements for technology companies that need assistance in bolstering the security posture of their product offerings and preparing for rigorous compliance audits.
