A dynamic, mission oriented, proven Counterintelligence (CI), Human Intelligence (HUMINT) and enterprise intelligence and cybersecurity professional with over 22 years of Department of Defense (DoD) operational and intelligence related experience, with emphasis in counterintelligence (CI), counterespionage (CE), Cyber, and counterterrorism (CT) investigations and operations. High level of experience in the DoD CI and HUMINT communities with an excellent understanding of the broader U.S. Intelligence Community (IC).
I am deeply committed to advancing the next generation of cybersecurity and intelligence professionals through rigorous, experience-driven instruction. Drawing on over 22 years of operational leadership in Counterintelligence (CI), Human Intelligence (HUMINT), and cyber investigations within the Department of Defense, I bring a mission-oriented perspective to the classroom that emphasizes real-world application, strategic thinking, and ethical decision-making. My teaching interests include counterintelligence, intelligence collection, cyber threat intelligence, counterespionage methodologies, technology protection, and interagency coordination in cyber operations. With extensive deployments across CENTCOM and PACOM, and a proven record of briefing and collaborating at executive levels, I desire to help students achieve fluency and expertise in these communication skills. I aim to equip students with the analytical skills and operational mindset required to secure complex digital environments and respond to evolving national security challenges.
