Currently leading incident response at Fannie Mae and previously directing shift operations and SOC strategy for Raytheon, he excels at coordinating large teams, refining detection processes, and delivering executive-level reporting. His Air Force background includes standing up an IR team that handled thousands of threats annually and pioneering network blocking that prevented thousands of attacks, demonstrating operational leadership in high-stakes environments.
