I started my career in the early days of the internet, founding an internet service provider in 1994. Since then, I have had the privilege of working for some of the biggest names in the telecommunications industry, including AT&T, Ameritech, Southwestern Bell, Verizon, and Centurylink. My expertise in the field has also led me to work with hardware manufacturers such as Extreme Networks, Mitel, and Adtran. Currently, my passion lies in the field of cybersecurity, where I specialize in Capture the Flag (CTF) and cyber range activities. (this bio was written by AI)
