AI is a force multiplier for both security teams and attackers.

I'm a husband, father, and youth football coach at heart. Those roles ground me and remind me why any of this work matters.

Professionally, I've spent 25 years in security operations, from the help desk floor at Barnes & Noble to running a 100+ person global SOC at Barracuda Networks, having scaled the operation 7.5x into one of the industry's largest SOCs, running 24/7 across three continents.

I'm the guy who was on the team that answered when attackers hit Priceline.com and Amazon.com in 2008, and stayed on it until the FBI made the arrest. The guy who helped build early cross domain detection and response before XDR became an established category, and carried that work through an acquisition. The guy who rebuilt one of the industry's largest SOCs around AI, and runs it in production today. And the guy that enterprises, MSPs, and small businesses have called in the middle of ransomware attacks and major breaches, to guide them through their most difficult moments.

Along the way I've led product, engineering, DevOps, security operations, and customer success, and advised CEOs and boards through it all. I believe in leaders building leaders: leading with empathy and compassion while empowering teams to own the mission.

That is not a resume. That is a track record.
