About Me

I’m an IT Security Specialist based around Findlay, Ohio. I graduated from Owens Community College with an Associate Degree in Computer Programming Technology (3.5 GPA), building on technical foundations built at Millstream Career Center.

Currently serving in healthcare IT security, I specialize in managing and defending system infrastructure across multi-site hospital and clinical environments. My primary focus revolves around automated Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) onboarding, streamlining user access lifecycle provisioning, enforcing least-privilege principles, real-time threat monitoring, and ensuring HIPAA compliance.

When I'm not auditing access permissions or tuning security telemetry in my homelab, you'll find me homebrewing mead, DMing tabletop RPG campaigns, or reading classic fiction.
