What is your "why"? Why do you do what you do?
I spent the last 13 years protecting the Department of Defense from Nation-State level threats, now I want to help protect and service my immediate community.
Qualifying Questions: What are three questions we can ask clients to help pave the way for a referral? List them here.
If your organization was hit with ransomware or a digital theft today, who would handle the forensic investigation and reporting?
Have you ever had to deal with a data breach, internal investigation, or employee misuse of technology?
Do you have someone you trust for digital forensics or incident response if something goes wrong?
Unique Selling Proposition
I'm not "another cybersecurity consultant" or "just a forensic analyst." I'm a national-level investigator turned private-sector expert who helps organizations respond to digital threats with the clarity, discipline, and credibility that only comes from having done it when lives, missions, and careers were on the line.
