At the FBI he led the Cyber Threat Intelligence Team in the Enterprise Security Operations Center. Earlier he served at NCIS as cyber liaison to five Navy-sponsored University Affiliated Research Centers, at the Defense Intelligence Agency, and at USAID in Afghanistan as deputy program manager for a $62.5M embassy air program. He served in the U.S. Marine Corps as a Counterintelligence/HUMINT Specialist, conducting counterintelligence operations in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, and later supported U.S. Cyber Command in the Marine Corps Reserve.

He is a named contributor to the Department of Energy's National Cyber-Informed Engineering Strategy (June 2022), listed in the strategy's Senior Technical Group as a Department of Defense representative. He gives back to the Corps as a USMC Cyber Auxiliarist, mentoring Marines in the cyberspace domain, and holds an M.A. in Business and Organizational Security Management from Webster University and a cybersecurity risk management credential from Harvard.
