Cybersecurity and information operations professional with 30 years of applied technical expertise, leadership, and oversight within the Department of Defense and private sector. Currently serving as a Principal Remediation Advisor for Mandiant. I started my cyber operations career as a team lead to the Air Force's first cyber defense unit, tasked with executing security assessments (penetration testing, red teaming, etc) against worldwide Department of Defense network infrastructures. I continued to evolve within the Air Force's Cyber Warfare community as management and an organizational cyber defense subject matter expert to each of my subsequent assignments while serving active duty for 20 years. Upon retirement, I returned to my hands on technical roots, while serving in the Air Force Civil Service as a Cyber Defense Manager and Threat Hunter for the newly formed National Cyber Protection Teams (N-CPT). Over five years I help build, train, and evaluate the N-CPTs, plan, execute, and lead various cyber threat hunt missions, and mentor the newly acquired cyber defense Airmen.I then accepted an opportunity as a government contractor and cyber operations subject matter expert to advise the Joint Cyber Command and Control (JCC2) System Program Management Office (PMO). It was here I authored a data strategy plan, refined operational requirements, and connected the PMO to operational units for the purpose of building a system to aggregate all Defense Information System Network cyber security analytics, information and intelligence. This highly ambitious effort will deliver tier 1-3 situational awareness and understanding of the cyber landscape, along with command and control of all cyber assets and personnel to Department of Defense warfighters at all levels.I left the DoD in Feb 22 for the private sector to serve as a principal remediation advisor to Mandiant. One of the top cyber security companies in the world.
