Applied Cybersecurity Ethics: Privacy, AI, and Emerging Threats

By day, I'm a strategic advisor, virtual CISO, public speaker, & storyteller. By night, I'm a husband, father, writer, filmmaker, martial artist, musician, and gamer. I've earned every gray hair in my beard, having spent my career serving as a cybersecurity leader in public utilities, retail, higher education, consulting, and technology. I love to share what I've learned over the years every chance I get: at local and regional professional meetings, at larger conferences, and online via blogs and podcasts. I've published multiple online information security courses with Pluralsight and LinkedIn Learning, and I teach courses in person, both domestically and internationally. I bring a unique combination of perspective and experience to the table when helping organizations improve their cybersecurity programs, and I'd love to help you make those same improvements, focusing on the business value of an effective, efficient, forward-thinking cybersecurity program. At the end of the day, I just want to help folks get one step closer to doing what they want to do securely.

No one likes an impersonal cold call. People who put forth the effort to personalize that outreach are more likely to develop an authentic relationship. ;)
