I fight for social good. Beyond a vCISO / professional IT Security leader, I'm consistently studying esoteric technological emerging trends such as trust, privacy, cyber-defense countermeasures, and overly paranoid subjects. Some of these subjects are challenges related to artificial intelligence, facial recognition, bio-hacking, hardware hacking, internet of things, smart cities, along with old school styles of phreaking and physical security. When possible, I volunteer for other cause and attend & speak at many conferences. I post on this website to help share with the community with the hope it helps advance ideas and approaches.

I also dive into Environmental issues. As reflected by my upbringing of family environmentalists, we have a long advocated for the protection of our world. We urge for passionate defenses regarding Wisconsin's environmental policies. Our hands-on work consists of reintroduction of Wisconsin native species, monitoring the health of freshwater habitats, and preserving our wilderness of nocturnal species. We lead initiatives through tech innovation and the pioneering of scientific data applications.

In my humble opinion, Humanity is facing the greatest challenges, although fascinating, time in history. The era depicts some the fastest progression stories led by incredible men, women, and powerful civilizations the world has ever seen. As a youngster, I had an early impulse to discover how our world ticks. I dreamed of seeking out places perhaps nobody has set foot on for 500 years, or perhaps.. EVER. As an adult this need for discovery still exists. I actively seek out adventures. The more interesting, unique, and abnormal these experiences are, the more I’m satisfied. Travel and social justice is my thing, this seems to be the best solution of existence, both near and far.

I hope you enjoy your time on my slice of the web. Learn more about my projects, my ideas, and passions. Please reach out, let's discuss some of these fascinating topics! =)
