Foundational Development 1970s – 1990s ▸

A father who was an engineer ignited the spark — early access to a Commodore 64 turned curiosity into obsession. What followed was decades of hands-on hardware and software work: building 286 systems from scratch, writing code in GWBasic, C, C++, COBOL, and Pascal, and developing a methodical instinct for understanding how systems — and people — can be broken.

Network & Systems Administration 1990s – 2000s ▸

Systems Integration: Developed proprietary scheduling applications for security firms — bespoke software solving real operational problems.
Compliance & Infrastructure: Implemented ISO 9002 quality management standards and established foundational network architecture for a major coal company.
Telecommunications: Served as Head Technician and Support Center Manager for a regional cell phone provider.
ISP Pioneer: Was instrumental in establishing one of Southern WV's first Internet Service Providers and developed advanced intrusion detection methods from scratch.
State-Level Network Management: Post-acquisition, managed large-scale state networks and engineered an innovative Out-of-Band Management (OOBM) system — notable enough to draw attention from Cisco and 3Com.

Cybersecurity & Ethical Hacking 2000s – Present ▸

Achieved CCNA certification and pivoted into deep specialization in complex Wireless Networking and firewall architecture. In the early 2000s, formally adopted Ethical Hacking practices — conducting comprehensive wireless network mapping and vulnerability assessments, collaborating with local businesses to expose and remediate real-world security gaps.
