I’ve spent over two decades in cybersecurity focused on how attackers move after they get access, and how security teams can stop them. I’ve observed the shift from perimeter breaches to identity-driven attacks and helped fight back at companies like Claroty, Wiz, and now ClearVector. At ClearVector, I lead Sales Engineering for an identity-driven security platform that shows exactly what a compromised identity is doing across AWS, GCP, GitHub, Kubernetes, and containers, typically in under two minutes. Instead of more alerts, teams get clear attribution and precise response. Customers use one-click isolation to contain threats without taking production down in what one CISO called “surgical precision instead of a sledgehammer.” I also mentor sales engineers, write about cybersecurity GTM and identity threats, and spend weekends on Lake Nacogdoches with my family. Let's connect if you're grappling with production identity security, alert fatigue, or how to actually stop an attack in progress.
Building out an elite sales engineering department to help customers solve production identity security, alert fatigue, and stopping attacks in progress.
I manage Sales Engineering, the Technical Assistance Center, and Customer Success, building teams that deliver across every step of the customer journey. I make sure presales, sales, and support work together so customers have a smooth experience from the first demo through renewal. I solve problems and improve how teams operate, partnering across the company to tackle challenges and drive results. Recruiting and developing talent is a major focus; I have grown each department by hiring people who fit our values and mission. I contribute to the go-to-market team, helping create and execute strategies that strengthen customer satisfaction and retention. I am drawn to fast-moving environments where I can get things done, support others, and help a company scale.
