GCCP, ISC2 CC
Google Certified Cybersecurity Professional, ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity, & Community Technical Advocate
I believe that technology should be a tool for connection, not a source of anxiety. A resident of Polk City, Florida, I bring over two decades of deep-rooted experience in computer technology and network security to this local community.
Throughout a distinguished career as a technical leader, I have mastered the complexities of software engineering, cloud automation, and cybersecurity. Today, I am pivoting that high-level expertise toward a personal mission: protecting and empowering the seniors of Polk County.
As a Google Certified Cybersecurity Professional, I specialize in translating complex “tech-speak” into clear, actionable guidance. Whether it is navigating the rigorous identity verification process for Social Security (ID.me) and IRS websites, securing home networks against sophisticated AI scams, or simply ensuring a tablet stays connected to the family, my approach is defined by patience and integrity.
In an era where digital fraud is increasingly targeted at our most vulnerable neighbors, I want to serve as a trusted “Technical Advocate.” I don’t just fix devices; I build digital confidence, ensuring that the seniors of Polk City can enjoy the benefits of a connected world without the fear of being left behind or exploited.
