I have over 19 years of experience in the Information Technology within the private and government sectors of various types of companies.  After receiving my bachelor’s degree from Southeast Missouri State University, I started my IT career as an Operations Data Center Manager at AT&T eventually moving on to varies companies where I held various IT support and leadership role positions.  These positions early in my career started the foundation to my career path of IT related roles and eventually leading me to Cyber Security.  I have obtained an ITIL Foundations and Six Sigma- Green Belt certification with plans of adding additional certifications.

I grew up in Southeast Missouri and eventually settled in Western Missouri.  I enjoy spending time with my family and the chaos that come with us all being active in sports, taking time to visit extended family, traveling, and general life actives.  I have a passion for exercising, cooking when I have the time, reading a good book, traveling though I don’t do enough of it, and having fun.
