About Me

Originally from O'Fallon, Illinois — now based in the Chicagoland area. Outside the SOC, you'll find me hunting and fishing across Illinois, hiking trails with my fiancée and our dog, or out in the field with a camera chasing wildlife shots.

I got into cybersecurity because I wanted to understand how things break — not just how to defend them. That curiosity drives everything from my day job building security programs to weekends spent on offensive CTF challenges and HackTheBox.
