About Me
I was born and raised in the northern part of San Diego.I consider myself an extremely fortunate man. I start my day working at a job in a field i am truly passionate about and finish the evening with my family that i truly love.
After putting my kids to bed, i proceed to spend time with my wife until she ultimately falls asleep to the sound of me trying to explain pfsense. From there, i spend most late nights reading a book from No Starch Press or on my favorite platforms (Hack-The-Box, Pluralsight, Youtube, etc..) learning something new and then putting it to practice.
I always knew i had an interest in security, but after digging into the basics of every other area of IT, and always coming back, i knew i loved it.
Motivated individual with a passion for defending others. Whether it's my family or my company's network, I find innovative and necessary solutions to ensure protection from common and new threat actors.
Was that a pretty clever intro? I wrote that myself. Without ChatGPT!
