I was born and raised just outside of Cincinnati Ohio. I grew up very active playing soccer and running track. Once out of Highschool, I enjoyed other sports like rock climbing and joining various clubs like the running club and chess club to not only keep my body active, but also my mind.I love to figure out puzzles and challenge myself to always do better. This is what has ultimately lead me into the Cybersecurity field, as there are ever changing puzzles to solve, trails to run down, and new techniques to analyze. I find this work, and constant need to adapt invigorating every single day. Learning is one of the hobbies I enjoy the most, and the constant need to learn in Cybersecurity has not only made it the career I want to be in, but also a hobby. Reading new articles about the prominent techniques being used to infiltrate businesses, and how to mitigate the risks has become my Sunday morning newspaper. Participating in CTF challenges has also become a new activity in what little downtime I have. These have helped me learn some reverse engineering techniques to better analyze the threats I see on a daily basis.It is because of this love of learning, adapting, and being challenged that I strive to forever better myself and my skills and knowledge of all things Cybersecurity. This gives me a drive to attack each day with veracity and a smile on my face.
