CyberGeist Security

I believe in the world of Cybersecurity, a "Bit or Qubit Equals an Atom."

The boundary between the natural world and the digital is so interwoven that there is no longer a clear boundary between the two realms.

I am currently working on several projects where I can contribute my 30+ years of real-world experience in Innovation and R&D in Cybersecurity, Air Defense, Military & Threat Intelligence (TAC-EW), Law Enforcement, Federal and State Agencies, Critical Infrastructure, and the Commercial and Private sector enterprises.

In my most recent role as CISO for the Port of San Diego, it was an honor to serve alongside the great hearts and souls of the Port's talented team, and I was privileged to lead a genuine "All Hands on Deck" team effort through the 2018 Ransomware incident.
