I am a self-motivated quick learner with a background in the United States Air Force. In one year I went from being a civilian to having a Top Secret clearance and keeping the Minuteman III ICBM weapon system on alert around the clock. The same calling that I felt to serve the United States is ready to be brought to the world of cybersecurity. I am a graduate of Anderson University with a BA in Cybersecurity and a complementary major in Computer Science with Magna Cum Laude honors. I have recently returned to AU to serve as the Assistant Director of the Center for Security Studies & Cyber Defense.The mission of the CSSCD is to produce highly sought after cybersecurity professionals with a 4-year bachelor's degree, industry recognized certifications and 2-4 years of real world cybersecurity services experience. We accomplish this goal through implementation of a rigorous curriculum, paid student internships and providing information security services to small businesses, other non-profits, local units of government, houses of worship and other, as yet, unrecognized entities in need of such services.The Anderson University Center for Security Studies & Cyber Defense is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) LLC and all contributions to the Center have the potential to be tax deductible.
