Overview
I am married, living in Pennsylvania, USA. I have been involved in IT for 8 years now and have worked my way up the ladders to an advanced position in network security. I am a Cisco instructor at a community college in addition to my day job, I hold various certifications in IT, and am continually learning more. I also run my own company, Shrike Tools, which provides Managed Security Services to small and medium businesses to ensure network & internet connectivity, systems security, and PCI & HIPAA compliance. In my “spare time” of which is minimal, I love to travel, watch Rallycross, and help with Zooniverse projects such as Icehunters and Planet Hunters.

Founding Rubus is the result of my constant interest in helping others and attraction to the Raspberry Pi architecture.

I also run a blog called Bit by Bit primarily based around networking and security information, I encourage you to go check it out. I go over my daily findings and opinions in networking and security, academic educational options, certifications, reworking your resume, career paths to choose, and of course some history on what worked for me.
