I'm a retired Air Force Lt Col. My military career spanned engineering, acquisitions, intelligence, and operations with the 67th Cyberspace Wing. I successfully transitioned to commercial life in 2016. I started out as a defense contractor working for MITRE but decided I wanted to do something different and eventually ended up in a director position at my current non-DoD-related company. I've spoken at DEF CON, BSidesLV, and ShellCon previously as well as published multiple times in 2600.
