I am an Information Technology and Security Practitioner, Researcher, Entrepreneur, Consultant and Educator with over 10 years of Experience Managing, Designing, and Implementing physical and Information Technology Security Solutions.

As President and Chief Executive Officer at Washington, D.C. based Information Security Services Consulting Firm, Secure Intervention,  I lead a team of experts in Regulatory Compliance, Security Assessments and Audits,  Security and IT Program Management and Cloud Computing security focused on both the public and private sector.

In addition, I am an Adjunct College Professor teaching System Architecture, Networking, Network Attacks and Defense, and Security Program Development courses.

Prior to founding Secure Intervention, I most recently  worked as a Network Security Engineer responsible for design, implementation, improvement, and maintenance network security solutions in a fast paced, multi-campus environment with over 30,000 users.

I am a Certified Information System Security Professional, Certified Information Systems Auditor, and Certified Ethical Hacker.

If that weren’t enough, I am pursuing a Phd in Information Technology with a concentration in Information Security and Assurance.

(Don’t ask how I do it all)

Feel free to contact me for consulting engagements or post comments on blog entries of particular interest.

My primary goal in starting this blog to share my thoughts on current day security related matters and more importantly,  pass along other useful tidbits to my students ( and anyone else who cares ) outside the classroom setting. As security is my passion, I often find myself reading security related articles, blogs, and websites and thinking it would be great to pass that along to my students. Usually by the time I get into the class room, I’ve already moved on to other things. Maybe this way will provide a better forum. Maybe….

Occasionally, I might have a student guest post an entry if he/she desires. As I try to focus my courses of current day events and technologies, I have received some very good insights due to assigned research or projects. I will provide this site as an avenue for students to publish their work .

I encourage your comments, suggestions, and thoughts.
