I lead secure enterprise network and infrastructure transformations across cloud, SD-WAN, voice, and edge security.

United States
Message

I'm currently leading enterprise infrastructure implementation at Ethos Veterinary Health, setting standards and governance across 140+ Ethos and 25+ Equine hospital locations. I run concurrent edge firewall, voice, and IT/core network transformation programs while supervising a distributed team and coordinating vendor and carrier relationships.

At Aquinas Consulting, I designed, deployed, and operated hybrid AWS and on-premises network security infrastructure end-to-end. My work included Palo Alto firewalls, Cisco ISE, segmentation frameworks, BGP, EIGRP, VoIP, Windows Server, and full-lifecycle delivery through cutover and steady state.

I've led enterprise and federal network programs at Leidos and production network operations at BeyondTrust, combining hands-on engineering with team leadership, vendor management, documentation, compliance, and incident-response improvements.

Across finance, healthcare, hospitality, sports, cloud communications, defense, and public-sector environments, I've built secure, reliable multi-site networks. I bring 20+ years of experience spanning Cisco, Palo Alto, Fortinet, AWS, Azure, GCP, VMware, SD-WAN, WAN/LAN modernization, and regulated security requirements.
