Teaching Philosophy

There are no stupid questions except those not asked. I attempt to learn something new every day. When we learn, we grow and are better for new experiences or knowledge. When we make mistakes, it is an opportunity to learn and do better the next time.

I expect students to be ready to learn and constructively participate in the course.

Professional Profile

I am an Information Technology professional with over 25 years of industry experience holding multiple professional certifications including CCIE Security #14432 and CISSP #84805. I have worked primarily with implementing and troubleshooting Cisco Systems network infrastructure equipment. I am also well-versed in cybersecurity including compliance audits, forensic analysis, penetration testing, and guidance as an Information Security Office for multiple clients.
