I’ve spent my life in the field helping people. From guarding the Air Force flight line to the local police department, and if there is one thing I’ve learned, it’s that a crisis is a terrible time to start a plan, and look for solutions. Whether you’re a small business owner trying to make sense of a confusing security issue, or a legal team that needs an experienced expert to translate complex forensic data for a jury, I’m here to help. I don’t believe in over-complicating things with jargon. Instead, I believe in giving you clear and actionable insights based on over 25 years of real-world investigations. From running your team through a no-nonsense tabletop exercise to serving as a veteran set of eyes on your security policy, my goal is to make sure you’re prepared for whatever comes your way next.
Litigation & Expert Support
I’ve testified in Federal and Circuit courts. I know how to make digital evidence stand up to scrutiny, and how to explain it so people actually understand it. Whether it’s an internal investigation or a legal discovery, I use a detective’s eye to find the artifacts others might miss.
Business Resilience
A plan is only as good as its last test. I help businesses move beyond simple “check-the-box” security by building real-world resilience. Instead of just looking at slides, I’ll walk your leadership team through a no-nonsense tabletop exercise where we can simulate scenarios, and see how you hold up.
Advisory & Teaching
I’m a firm believe in “sending the elevator back down.” Not every company needs a full time CISO, but every company needs a strategy. As a vCISO, I provide the guidance you need to manage vulnerabilities, and build a security culture that sticks. I provide hands-on coaching for internal IT teams, teaching them how to handle internal triage and evidence preservation the right way.
I am always up for a good conversation. Whether you have a specific project in mind or just want to talk shop about the latest threats over a cup of coffee, feel free to reach out. I live and work in the western mountains of Maryland, but I am only a phone call or an email away. If you want to see the details of my background before we chat, you can download my resume or check out some of my recent work in the projects and blog sections. I look forward to hearing from you and finding out how we can work together to secure your corner of the digital world.
