Many people have had to separate their passion from their career. I had the same experience as many many others. In my previous career, I was very successful but kept my passion as a hobby. I've had the opportunity to work in the transportation & consumer services industries, partner with diverse groups, and lead many different teams. Like many, the pandemic was a turning point, this was no different for me. It forced me to reassess my dreams, passion, and goals. I am one of those people that decided to make a change.

I've had a passion for Information Technology but more specifically Cyber-Security for many years. As a hobby, I joined friends and family on CTF's and security discussions. Installing and managing firewall appliances, network attached storage, deploying servers, VM's, on-prem and cloud LDAP/AD servers, and more. Many times, finding weaknesses and learning exploiting them on my own for fun.

As the saying goes: Love what you do, never work another day in your life.

I've been fortunate to work as security consultant, WebApp and Network pen tester, Wi-Fi pen testing, social engineering, and more. I've had the opportunity to work alongside others in the Cyber Security industry and over all technology fields to add much to my skill set. Deployed and used systems like Qualys, Burp Suite, Metasploit, and others to test systems and harden them. Withing the Microsoft umbrella, I've worked with IAM, Azure AD, MDM, Intune, Defender, and Sentinel, Orchestration/Automation, and much more. I've also worked alongside stakeholders to develop dashboards from large data sets in SQL by leveraging PowerBi, PowerQuery, XML, and MSSP to visualize large, ingested datasets measuring KPI's, and other GRC specific information.
