Who are you?

I am an Information Security Professional who is currently employed as an Offensive Security Engineer in an Fortune 500 Manufacturing company. Additionally, I have 3 years of Vulnerability Management experience, and a little OT Security experience I obtained via internship.

In addition to my day job, I engage with the greater information security industry in a variety of ways:

• I am active on a myriad of Discord servers
• Minnesota CCDC
  • 2 years as competitor
  • 2 years as Red Team
    • 1 as Red Team Lead
• Speak to students in local high schools and colleges
• PancakesCon volunteer
• This blog (Obviously)

Why should I listen to you?

Good question. If what is mentioned above doesn't satisfy you, here are my current credentials:

• BS in Cybersecurity from a local state university
• AS in Computer Networking from a local community college

As far as industry certification is concerned, I currently hold the following:

• Red Team Lead from Zero Point Security (CRTL)
• Red Team Ops from Zero Point Security (CRTO)
• OffSec Certified Professional (OSCP)

Of course, there are also some certifications that have lapsed, and are now inactive:

• AWS Security Specialty
• AWS Cloud Practitioner
• Cisco CCNA Routing and Switching
• CompTIA A+
• NOCTI Certification in Web Design

Why blog?

Well, this is pretty easy. I love the infosec community. I am a hacker at heart and I want nothing more than to contribute back to a kickass group of folks that has not just taken me in and accepted me, but has allowed me to thrive. I hope to inspire those who follow me into this crazy field.
