About Me
I'm the Deputy CISO at Utah Valley University, where I've been part of the Security team since 2010. I also teach cybersecurity courses as an adjunct professor. I hold a B.S. in Information Technology from UVU and an MBA from Utah State University, and I'm a CISSP with additional professional certifications. I currently serve as the coordinator for the Utah System of Higher Education (USHE) security assessment team, conducting security assessments across the state's 16 public colleges and universities.
Outside of work, I love spending time with my wife and our three sons camping and exploring national parks whenever we can. I play the bagpipes with the Utah Pipe Band and was honored to perform at the services commemorating the 80th anniversary of D-Day in France in June 2024.
Recently, my work has focused on Identity & Access Management (IAM), Zero Trust Architecture, penetration testing, and cloud deployments.
