An excerpt of my background:

In my latest role as Chief Information Security Officer at AMEG Enterprises, my career’s journey—a blend of military service, public sector leadership, and educational engagement—shapes the vision I bring to our cybersecurity initiatives. My foundational years as a U.S. Army colonel instilled in me a deep understanding of strategic and operational security, a discipline I carried into my civilian career.

One of the pivotal moments in my career was my appointment by Governor Jerry Brown as California’s Chief Information Security Officer in 2011. This role marked a significant shift towards safeguarding the digital integrity of one of the largest economies in the world, enhancing the cybersecurity framework across the state’s myriad agencies and setting new standards for digital security.

Following my tenure in California and a brief consulting period in Idaho, I found a new purpose as Idaho’s CISO in 2020, focusing on collaborative, innovation-driven approaches to cybersecurity. My efforts in Idaho, particularly in fostering a people-centric security culture and driving IT modernization, are experiences I now bring to AMEG Enterprises.

At AMEG, I am determined to apply my extensive experience to strengthen our cybersecurity defenses, building on the collaborative ethos and innovative spirit that have been hallmarks of my career. My appointment by Governor Brown, and the responsibilities it entailed, underscore the level of trust and expectation I aim to meet at AMEG, ensuring our digital assets are secure and our cybersecurity practices set industry benchmarks.
