I am an unabashed identity nerd, general technophile, and long-time communicator of information security concepts. I have over 20 years of experience in managing identity and access management systems and extensive experience in cloud platforms, server operating systems, and management tools. I have served in multiple senior technical identity, security, and enterprise technology architecture in Fortune 500 enterprises and academic institutions.

My technical focus is developing secure cloud identity solutions and promoting the broad adoption of strong authentication technologies. I am an avid follower of identity protocol development and supporter of professional organizations such as IDPro.

I am an alumni of Ball State University, earning a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and an MBA. Outside of formal education, I have earned a number of technical certifications. I have served as an adjunct instructor in information security at the collegiate level as well as serving as a technical trainer in cloud technologies.
