I like figuring out how things work, why they break, and what it takes to get people back up and running.

01 / About

A bit about me

I’m a Marine Corps veteran with a bachelor’s degree in cybersecurity from Southern New Hampshire University. I’ve worked in equipment repair, emergency services, and IT support. One thing I’ve carried across those jobs is the habit of staying calm, working through a problem, and explaining what I found in plain language.

Outside of work, I build PCs and experiment with Windows and Linux in my home lab. I’m especially interested in incident response and digital forensics because I like taking a few clues and piecing together what happened.
