Hey everyone I’m a single father if 2 in southwest Florida and my background is unconventional: I have worked in concrete truck driving and real estate, which taught me discipline, responsibility, and the ability to adapt quickly in high-stakes situations and local music industry artists and producer and lots of experience tinkering and fixing cars through modification . But my real passion has always been tech & problem-solving. I recently completed the Google Cybersecurity Certification, and it only deepened my drive to pursue this path. I found myself fascinated not only by how attacks work, but also by the strategy behind defending systems—especially in blue team operations. Glad to be here and learn more and get some results For me, cybersecurity is more than a career shift—it’s a chance to align my natural pattern recognition skills with meaningful work. I want to become a skilled defender who understands threats from the inside out and can anticipate attackers’ moves before damage is done. My ultimate goal is to secure a role as a blue team analyst, continuously growing while giving back to the community that helped me start.

Hey guys! I was an old member of BowTiedCyber discord community back in 2023. @Evan Lutz resume tips and encouragement was really helpful and helped me land my first full time Security Engineer position a couple of years ago. I’m now working for a different company, fully remote. I couldn’t have done it without the BowTiedCyber community. Happy to be here!
