A second-career cybersecurity professional bridging pulpits and playbooks.

I spend my days translating technical risk into decisions leaders can act on. In nearly 3 1/2 years in DFIR at FRSecure, I analyzed Microsoft 365 and Azure environment; mapped findings to NIST, CIS, and ISO controls; and turned incident lessons into governance change. I'm now channeling that work into the GRC space, where posture, policy, and people meet. My passion is cybersecurity awareness training and content development, as I firmly believe people are the front line in the never-ending battle for cyber resilience, and equipping them to make better decisions is the most direct path to realizing that resilience.

Before cybersecurity, I served two decades in ministry across the African Methodist Episcopal Church as a youth minister, senior pastor, presiding elder, associate pastor, and currently as a young adult minister. Preaching taught me how to translate complex ideas for real audiences. Pastoring—the good and bad of it—taught me how to build, manage, and leverage relationships to foster change. These skills comprise the through-line of everything I do now.

DFIR taught me how attacks unfold; GRC is where I get to prevent them at scale. My North Star: the human in the loop. Every policy, every control, every training moment is a chance to help someone make a better security decision.
