I've always needed to know what's behind the walls.

That started literally. My father was a general contractor. I grew up on construction sites, in small businesses, around people who built things and fixed things and needed to understand how they worked. That same itch pulled me into networking and eventually cybersecurity. Twenty years of taking things apart to see how they worked. Built a managed service provider from zero. Shipped the SD-WAN platform behind a billion-dollar acquisition. Currently a product leader in cybersecurity.

My brain is wired to find the connections between things that don't obviously belong together, and those connections have pulled me into places I didn't expect. Lately, I’ve started writing about them.

Also an amateur photographer, home cook, bread baker, and proud lifelong sci-fi nerd :)
