01 — ABOUT

Nearly 30 years in I.T., 17 building and running security programs.

I was CISO and Director of Security Operations for Visual Edge IT, a large MSP, where I managed internal SecOps and led a team delivering vCISO and SecOps services to 100+ paying clients — plus incident response coverage across 600+ managed-services customers without a standing security agreement.

Today I'm a Sr. Sales Engineer and Field CISO at SilverSky, working across offensive security, defensive operations, incident response, compliance, and governance — at both the strategic and technical leadership level.

Strategic
  • vCISO program maturity & scalability
  • Multi-industry risk management frameworks
  • MSP vendor / supply-chain risk
  • Board-level risk communication
  • Regulatory strategy — HIPAA, PCI-DSS, CMMC, state privacy law
Technical Leadership
  • Detection engineering & threat hunting at scale
  • SIEM / SOAR / EDR integration & orchestration
  • IR playbooks & tabletop exercises
  • Purple team & adversary emulation
  • Threat intel operationalization, forensics & malware analysis
