About Me

How I got here &
where I'm going.

I'm a CMMC Certified Professional (CCP) and senior cybersecurity specialist with an active DoD Tier 3 (Secret) clearance — enabling immediate deployment on sensitive federal and commercial engagements.

My 12+ year career spans DFIR, threat detection engineering, cloud security, and GRC compliance across pharmaceutical, federal, and defense-industrial-base environments. I've built and operated enterprise SIEM/SOAR platforms, led full-lifecycle incident response, and designed compliance programs aligned to NIST 800-53, FedRAMP, SOC 2, FISMA, and CMMC.

I'm actively pursuing CISSP (candidate 2025) and building toward launching my own cybersecurity consulting firm. Outside the SOC, I co-founded the Afro Golf Club (AGC) — a community and golf organization in Middletown, Delaware.
