I.T. is my second wave... Originally started my "career life" in the music industry, as a recording engineer, writer and producer in New York City for 15 years. I've worked with many inspirational figures like Jay-Z (have you heard of him?), Wu Tang Clan, and Pharrell to name a few. I also was the go to guy when they required someone with an inner strength to manage strong personalities and complex situations, that revealed I had a certain "dog whisperer" skill. This is something that I have utilized throughout my entire professional life as one of my biggest assets. My M.O. for excelling professionally can be plainly put... By WORKING HARD, total DEDICATION TO MY CRAFT, Building my SKILL SETS, and GIVING 110% to any task I take on. I then get recognized as someone who brings high value to a team and employer, as that leads to bigger and better opportunities, that morph in support of promotions for me. My Specialties:Security | Endpoint Administration and Security:One of my top goals is to ensure any company I am employed by have a security-aware culture, as the saying goes "the uneducated user is the weakest link". In a typical year, I'll oversee, build and report on 8-12 security training programs, which are then reported to C-Level administration and security management. It is extremely important that all areas of a security environment are protected, from a defensive to an offensive standpoint. That in turn supplies the drive to identify areas of weakness that have room for improvement in a company's environments that I'm a part of.Technical Skills:With an I.T. career spanning 15 years, I have been exposed to many technologies for keeping a companies environment secure, administering the network and end users experience for efficiency, and exploring new possibilities to improve the security posture of the companies overall network. With an inquisitive mind, I'm always looking to get my hands dirty within new technologies that can improve a company's landscape and increase productivity and security.
