With a special focus on counterintelligence and cybersecurity, I spent over two decades safeguarding critical national security interests from the shadows. From navigating the chaos of combat zones to outsmarting sophisticated adversaries, I thrived in high-pressure environments where intuition, tradecraft, and strategic thinking were my weapons.My journey began in the US Marine Corps, transitioned through a pivotal role as a Counterintelligence Special Agent at the DoD, and has now culminated in the establishment of Ember River, a cybersecurity firm dedicated to safeguarding digital integrity.Today, I leverage that hard-won expertise through leading Ember River as a Founding Partner and Intelligence Director. My passion here lies in pushing the boundaries of traditional security, driving innovation, and building agile, forward-thinking solutions that stay ahead of the curve (and break the status quo). How? We don't guess, we measure. We don't react, we predict. We translate complex threats into actionable insights, minimizing risk and maximizing your organization's resilience.Whether it's hunting down cybercriminals, thwarting foreign intelligence officers, or crafting proactive defense strategies, I'm driven to make the world a safer place for future generations. If you share a passion for leading-edge intelligence or cybersecurity leadership, I’d love to connect.
