About Me

I believe in putting people first & proactively adding value.

Education

I concurrently completed my BS & MS in Info. Systems Management from BYU in 2018, where I published academic articles on accounting fraud & info. security. Learning has been a lifelong passion for me.

Info Security

I take a risk-based approach to security, rather than a transactional approach.
I believe helping people (1) understand their risk landscape and (2) what things they can do that result in better outcomes than fear-mongering.

Hobbies

I enjoy going on walks, sports, learning history, gardening, painting, composing music, learning new things, and especially spending time with other people (particularly my family).
