About I'm a retired Navy senior officer, former U.S. diplomat, Defense Attaché, and certifiable geek who loves computer programming and electronics. At NAWCAD, I work in the cybersecurity branch for test and evaluation. At Alion, I developed and conducted cybersecurity training in support of NAVSEA control systems; training designed to complement the implementation of cyber tools as part of the Risk Management Framework (DoDI 8510.01), System Development Life-Cycle, and acquisition process.

As an adjunct instructor, I continue teaching computer programming and data science courses while developing cybersecurity training as part of an ethical-hacking program. Previously, as a member of the Navy's Tactical Training Team and a graduate of the Strike Lead Advanced Training Syllabus (SLATS), I delivered a variety of tactical training, focusing on AGM-84 Harpoon missile employment, and authored The AGM-84 Harpoon User’s Manual.

In my spare time I design electronic circuits, write firmware, and construct prototypes. Two popular devices I produced were unique digital controllers to replace analog automotive components no longer manufactured. Below is a kit prototyped for a colleague's circuit class. The PCB conforms to TI's BoosterPack design and allows students to build the kit, plug onto a LaunchPad, and attach a digital oscilloscope to observe electronic responses to external stimuli.

I've also mentored a high-school CyberPatriot team coaching them on intrusion detection, VPNs, firewalls, and packet tracing, and I sometimes even leave the office to enjoy the great outdoors as an Assistant Scoutmaster.

Specialties: Cybersecurity (Wireshark, Kali, Metasploit, Snort, etc.), technical writing, course development, computer programming (Python, C/C++, Java), and data science (SQL, R).

Security clearance: TS/SCI
