What do you like to do outside of work?
I volunteer with security organizations to help elevate the industry and give back to the professional community. With my wife, I stay active in our children’s lives, from sports to school events and everything in between. If there is any time left, I enjoy working on my hopeless golf game.
How are you involved in the community?
I’m a founding member of our Veterans Employee Resource Group, where I lead initiatives that support veteran inclusion and transition. I mentor service members as they enter the civilian workforce and advocate for veteran hiring and development. Supporting veterans remains a core focus of my community and professional efforts.
