The Integral
Life.
"The outward man is the swinging door; the inner man is the still hinge."
— Meister Eckhart
My work spans enterprise security, education, and perception research — disciplines that don't usually share a room. I'm not interested in staying in one lane. I'm interested in what happens at the edges, where the analytical meets the unexplored.
As a CISO, I protect systems. As an educator, I challenge how we train the people who protect them. As a researcher, I ask what else the human soul is capable of. The commitment across all three is the same — take the data seriously, and follow the truth wherever it leads.

Member, Intuitive Forecasting
While cybersecurity protects against visible threats, I utilize Associative Remote Viewing (ARV) protocols to identify non-linear risks. I view this not as mysticism, but as a data retrieval skill for information that sits outside the analytical spectrum.
The Compass
"I do not claim to have arrived. These are the coordinates I use to navigate the journey, the promises I make to myself to stay on course."
The Tribe
My circle is my responsibility. This is a promise to cherish my family and friends, and to pour into the people God brings into my personal life.
God
Before I act, I must align. I strive to quiet my own ego to hear the Creator’s direction. True strength is found in surrender.
The Frontier
Comfort is the enemy of growth. This is the bravery to remain open to new ideas and challenge my own assumptions.
The Iron
To serve others well, I must be capable. This is the discipline of consistent physical training to forge resilience and energy.

I recognize that I never "arrive." This is a commitment to the humility of the student. Through reading and reflection, I constantly seek wisdom.

I commit to doing my work with excellence and integrity. Not for applause, but for the quiet satisfaction of being useful and creating order.
Initiate Dialogue
I accept a limited number of advisory roles and speaking engagements per quarter to maintain operational fidelity.
