Security professional, speaker, and writer based in Indianapolis.
Day job: Cybersecurity Technologist & Evangelist at Horizon3.ai — autonomous penetration testing that shows what’s actually exploitable, not just what looks scary on paper.
Speaking: National extemporaneous speaking champion. I’ve keynoted security conferences on turning offensive security findings into board-level resilience narratives. Next up: CSS Chicago, March 2026.
Background: Started in pastoral ministry, moved through education and helpdesk, taught myself to hack, then taught others to defend. The communication skills from the first career make the technical skills from the second one actually land.
Writing: Security strategy, offensive security insights, and the communication frameworks that make complex risk legible to people who aren’t in the weeds.
