I was born, raised, and live in Pittsburgh, PA. I graduated with a Master's degree in Cybersecurity from PennWest University - California Campus in August of 2023.

I possess a CompTIA Security+ certification, and I hold PA state Vehicle Inspector and Emissions licenses. Vehicle Cybersecurity has always been one of my top interests in the field of Cybersecurity because of my prior experience operating a transportation contracting business and my hobby of working on cars.

While in graduate school, I researched vehicle cybersecurity related issues, and I have an intense interest in securing these vehicles from nefarious hackers.

After graduate school, I completed a 4 month contract apprenticeship position with Dagostino Electronic Services Inc from September 2023 to December of 2023.

In January of 2024 I founded and launched Cyber Services LLC, an emerging technology start up currently in the development phases of growth.
