Security Plus

I have been with the Air Force for 20 years. I have done many different things in IT for them from maintaining SATCOM links, to network infrastructure and cybersecurity, quality assurance, project management, leading teams and mentoring personnel. I have a Bachelors of Science in IT Management from Western Governors University. I am currently working on my MBA IT Management with the same school. Also, I have my Security + cert and I working on my Security X (formerly CASP +) cert. In my spare time, I try to build on my skillset/ knowledge base by trying to learn new things. I believe that I'd be a valuable asset to the organization with my experience and educational background.

I was Ian's direct supervisor over the last 18 months. He works well both independently and with others to accomplish all projects and tasks that he is assigned. He has impeccable attention to detail, even with the most mundane of tasks.  He was very helpful with training junior technicians and managing the network infrastructure projects team. I am pleased to recommend him for supervisory, managerial, and technical (network infrastructure) positions.
