About

I am a cybersecurity leader, entrepreneur, and builder who focuses on scaling companies, developing high performing teams, and creating practical security and education products. I founded TCM Security and grew it from a solo bootstrapped idea into an eight figure business with a team of 30 employees. I built a portfolio of cybersecurity certifications that reached global adoption, created training programs that helped thousands start careers in the field, and established a consulting division that worked with Fortune 500 companies and government organizations. I led the company through rapid growth and a successful acquisition by Educate 360. After the acquisition, I served as Managing Director of Cybersecurity Services where I was responsible for the growth and direction of the TCM brand inside a larger enterprise. I worked across teams, developed new product lines, drove innovation, and strengthened strategic partnerships. I also co-founded Breach Point, a blue team focused MSSP offering proprietary software, EDR and MDR, SIEM, and hands on defensive consulting. We differentiated ourselves with a hacker founded approach, transparent pricing, and high-touch service. My background spans offensive security, defensive security, product development, enterprise training, sales strategy, content creation, and executive leadership. I have a strong track record of building and leading teams, creating products that solve real problems, and driving meaningful results in both startup and enterprise environments. I am open to new full time leadership roles beginning in 2026 and selective advisory work in 2025. I am interested in CEO, COO, CTO, CRO, VP, or MD roles at organizations that want to scale, innovate, and grow. I am also open to board positions and fractional executive opportunities.
