As a Generalist, I refuse to Specialize, I look at the whole, and assist in resolving problems with the whole in mind. It makes no sense to fix a specific issue 20+ times when fixing the problem once will resolve it forever. I have over forty years of well rounded experience in all aspects of Security & Information Technology which I utilize everyday to assist my customers with problem solutions.
