With over 30 years of experience in network and security engineering, I am a seasoned IT professional dedicated to advancing the field of cybersecurity. Currently, I serve as the Cybersecurity Engineering Manager at L3Harris, where I lead a talented team in developing and implementing robust cybersecurity solutions. Since 1998, I have also been a professor at Mercer County Community College, where I teach Cisco Network Academy and Cybersecurity courses. My role extends beyond teaching, as I am actively involved in curriculum development, ensuring that our programs stay current with industry standards and emerging technologies. In addition to my professional and academic roles, I am committed to mentoring the next generation of cybersecurity professionals. As a Cybersecurity Mentor for ISC2, iQ4, and CWA, I provide guidance and support to individuals pursuing careers in this critical field.

Evangelist and cybersecurity / privacy professional, with more than 20 years of experience implementing and supporting secure, complex information technology infrastructures. My detailed knowledge of security and network methodologies, techniques, and best practices coupled with the extensive technical knowledge I have gained from experience and extensive cybersecurity training has given me the ability to thoroughly assess cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities, and remediate them. I have presented at numerous conferences to educate colleagues about the latest cyber threats that can impact their organization and how they can effectively mitigate them.
