Prior to achieving industry recognition for my work within the information security field, I was volunteering my time with various non-profit and industry trade groups to direct and implement international security policy standards. In this role, I was instrumental in elevating security standards while providing guidance for government and private industry security programs to combat data theft and implement counter-terrorism programs.
