Recruiting and Retention NCO @ Army National Guard
About
Communications, IT, and critical infrastructure professional with 15+ years of experience across military, federal, and private-sector environments. My career has been built on keeping mission-critical systems running — tactical SATCOM networks, data center facilities, industrial power systems, and enterprise LAN/WAN infrastructure — often in high-pressure, deployed conditions where failure wasn't an option. Currently serving as an IT & Network Communications Specialist (25B/25H) with the Mississippi Army National Guard, holding an Active Secret Security Clearance. I've led 6-person tactical teams, managed $1.5M in communication assets with zero losses, and maintained 100% operational readiness across theater-level operations. What sets me apart in the ICS/OT security space is that I've worked on both sides of the wall — the IT/cyber side and the physical operational side. I've monitored critical facility infrastructure via BMS and SCADA platforms, maintained industrial power generation systems, and hardened military networks against unauthorized access. That combination is rare. Now finishing my B.S. in Cybersecurity Technology at UMGC and actively building toward the GICSP certification, with a focus on ICS/OT security and critical infrastructure protection. If you're in defense, critical infrastructure, OT security, or federal cybersecurity — let's connect.
