What I’m doing now
Working in healthcare infosec
I’m on staff with a hospital system where I lead teams of cybersecurity practitioners, developers, and data engineers that defend a large enterprise and create custom solutions.
Helping SMB and nonprofits
I’ve rolled out new web strategy consulting services for creatives, founders, and changemakers.
Launching new Splunk services
With the dvvy, rqst, and kvkit apps now free and open source, I’ve shifted my Splunk focus to new coaching and consulting services.
Building an app to help writers
I’m building a web application intended to help writers maintain momentum and get that first draft manuscript done as quickly as possible. I plan to roll out a public alpha in summer 2025.
Playing lead guitar in a band
FTL covers high-octane alt and classic rock. In addition to local gigs, we donate play time to charity events and bring live music to locations that don’t usually get it.
Writing sci-fi/fantasy
I’ve been hacking at several science fiction and fantasy projects for many years. God willing and the creek don’t rise (whatever that means), I plan to finish my first fantasy novel in late 2025.
Pantsing a podcast
Starting a podcast once I line up some guests. It will feature interviews with published and unpublished writers of fiction.
Consuming sci-fi/fantasy
I’m an avid consumer of SFF books, movies, television, and games (on screen and tabletop).
