About the television show:
I wanted a platform where cybersecurity professionals could share their voice without biased algorithms, which is why the Cyber Life television show was created.  

After a successful 4 season run of the Cyber Life television show (with about 2.1 million monthly viewers), we have decided to focus the Cyber Life team on other projects but the show episodes will now live on the YouTube channel linked below.

Co-Founder (Exited)

RapidAscent

I led the initial build of the RA program for an immersive hands-on program, with custom labs that would lead to an OTJ apprenticeship for career changers.  Students with no prior technical experience were hacking and defending network infrastructure efficiently within the first week of the program that was built.  I then brought in another experienced cybersecurity professional to lead the program moving forward, so I could retire again.  

From what I heard, the program was adjusted to more of an entry level Sec+ based program after I left, based on client demand, and the program received funding through the Biden administration grant for cybersecurity to now offer free tuition for the program to applicants.

I'm looking forward to RA continuing to expand the program to help more deserving career changers and veterans get their start in cybersecurity careers.  I'm hopeful that expansion of the program and funding will allow RA the opportunity to increase diversity of its executive team.
