Community Service

Being a cybersecurity leader is a blessing for me and my family. I'm thankful and have a focus on giving back to the community.

Coaching and Mentoring
Hosts calls on Fridays with college students, veterans, individual contributors and leaders. We learn from each other. In some cases a few conversations establish a long-standing relationship.
