ABOUT

The intersection of cybersecurity and crime has been my lifelong passion. As the son of a career entrepreneur, I learned the value of hard work and personal commitment early on. What began as a youth’s obsession with crime and detective TV shows is now my passion to help solve complex technical and logistical problems in the world of digital crime. I’m a cybersecurity executive, leader, and serial entrepreneur who’s built his entire career on the drive to innovate — to create technological and process solutions which can successfully combat the malicious activity and fraud that runs rampant today.

I currently reside in Washington, D.C., where I am the founder and CTO of CyberSponse, Inc., a leading innovator in cyber incident response technology and services. We work with major financial institutions, retail, healthcare, critical infrastructure and government agencies.

The Beginning

I was born in New York, but grew up in a small town on the east coast of Florida. My father was an entrepreneur who owned and operated many businesses over the years. One of the first businesses he started was a saw mill, which sourced cypress wood from the local forests for regional distribution companies. I still remember growing up in that saw mill and playing on the mountains of sawdust piles – the ultimate child’s playground.

My father was someone who liked to keep himself busy, so while running the saw mill, he also started the local volunteer fire department with a few of his friends. This fire department was eventually acquired by the county. I spent a great deal of time there as well, and was able to watch, ride and even participate in fighting fires. It also taught me what true incident response was like, and inculcated in me a strong need to serve and help others.

Net Enforcers, Inc.

The second company I started was Net Enforcers, Inc. NEI originally started out as nothing more than eBay monitoring for grey market sales. Originally started as a services company, NEI began to build platform technology around a new a category in grey and black market detection and enforcement. We had no idea that over time, NEI would slowly transform itself into a leader in the world of cyber crime and fraud detection. Creating successful platforms in markets that don’t exist has become an incredible trend in my professional life!

CyberSponse, Inc.

Compromises and security breaches are an everyday occurrence. Teams look to protect themselves against very complex adversaries and opponents on a minute-by-minute basis, making the automation of internal security operations an essential part of combating cybercrime. CyberSponse's go to market technology went to market late 2014. Our focus was to build up an API enabled SOC Operational technology that changed security all together. The Platform was designed to optimize, automate and strengthen existing technologies which would in turn allow companies to have a better, more efficient and organized cyber strategy.

If you have any questions or would like to connect to discuss today’s pressing cyber security issues, don’t be shy. I am passionate about how technology can help change how businesses try to avoid the onslaught of cyber security traps in today’s cyber dependent reality. I hope that my efforts will all add up to make a difference.
