About

Accomplished engineer and leader with 20+ years of experience at the intersection of IT architecture, cybersecurity compliance, and cleared recruitment. I bring deep, hands-on expertise in JSIG, NIST 800-171, and NIST 800-53 — translating complex regulatory frameworks into practical, mission-aligned solutions. Throughout my career, I've built and led high-performing teams, navigated the demands of cleared environments, and served as a trusted advisor across both technical and business domains. I'm equally comfortable in the weeds of a compliance gap assessment as I am with aligning stakeholders.
