People person by nature, electrical engineer by training. I lead cross-functional technical teams, working directly with customers, to develop and implement innovative solutions.

I partner with small engineering firms to fuel their growth and position them for acquisition.

With 20+ years in technical and business leadership spanning DoD roles as a federal employee and private-sector small firms I bring proven expertise.  

Currently, as Chief Strategy Officer (CSO) at Mahlet, Inc., I’m leading the charge to redefine enterprise optical network cybersecurity with full-stack, Two-System Integrity (TSI) solutions for high-threat industries.  

Off the clock I'm a fitness enthusiast, personal finance geek, and real-estate investor...on the lighter side, I love socializing with friends, the Cleveland Browns, attending festivals, hitting local breweries, and chilling with a movie and a video game (at the same time🤯).

I've moved a ton throughout my life, but currently find myself with my family in the Washington, D.C. area enjoying all four seasons in moderation.

Hit me up – I love to network & chat!

When I was a federal employee, I had two commutes to get to/from work each day.

The first was by car.
The second by foot.

Just me?

I've found these AFCEA CMD lunches to be both enjoyable and a valuable use of my time and resources. 

If you haven't been, you should check it out! 

And let me know you'll be there so I can say 'hi!' in real life! 😊

Is this a men/women thing? 


Me: Let's see, if I let myself drink 2 per day, they'll last until Sunday - perfect!

My wife, 1 hour later: "I'm going to the store, I just drank the last bubble water!" 

🤔🤣😋

What does one do with a Sunday, if not spent crying loudly and drowning their sorrows??? 

I am truly lost.

Until September...

If these job titles make sense to you...


You've probably been with the federal government for way too long 🤣

Proud to support:

- The fight against cancer 
- Strengthening education
- Reforming US immigration policy

Plus, it'll be a great time with friends, colleagues, and new faces.

The MAC is the new powerhouse of the NCAA! 

For the first time since 1999 we're sending two teams to represent in March Madness 🍻

My humble undergrad Alma Matter, the University of Akron, scored a bid through our conference tournament victory

(3rd year in a row...no big deal, but it does mean we're the best ever)

Miami of Ohio scored an at-large bid due to their national ranking/impressive season record 

Now if one of them could just make it past the first round...🤔

Miami vs Akron in an Elite 8 matchup 🏆
You heard it here first
Place your bets now

Go Zips!


ps -
No, those emojis aren't AI
I just love them

Lots of security teams: "No one would ever do that. It's too complex/hard!"
North Korea's APT37: "Hold my soju..."

If they want it bad enough, they'll try whatever it takes.
When you assume they won't, you've already lost.

Your cloud data & systems don't exist in the ether. 
They exist on real hardware. Physical systems. Servers and cables.

And if the physical equipment isn't secure, neither are you.

When your own domestic surveillance becomes China's foreign surveillance...

SALT TYPHOON hacked roughly 200 telecommunications companies across the globe.

"The hacks allowed China to obtain call records, text messages, and captured phone audio from senior U.S. officials..."

But now that they've been caught, I'm sure they'll stop 😉

But for real though...we need to do better.

Theft of PII isn't the scary part...
It's the APT that's been inside critical networks for months. Silent. Waiting...
