My Background

I entered The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign way back in the fall of 1988 in the College of Engineering. My major at that time was Nuclear Engineering. However, I soon realized that I didn't want to glow in the dark and I decided to change my major to Electrical Engineering which I did the following spring.

I survived the ordeal and in May, 1992, I received a BS degree in Electrical Engineering.

At that point, I had enough of school (or so I thought) and so I decided to enter the Real World(tm). I accepted a job with Motorola in Schaumburg, IL and went to work in the Wireless Data Group designing and testing a wireless Ethernet bridge called Altair.

However, after two years in the Real World(tm), I decided that since I spent all my time working with computer software, I should get a degree in Computer Science.

In the fall of 1994, I reentered The University of Illinois in pursuit of a MS in Computer Science. I completed the program in May, 1996.

My thesis, entitled A Guide to Networking a K-12 School District, examined many of problems that a K-12 school district will encounter while trying to provide Internet access to its students. Suggestions on how to solve the problems are presented as well as several example school district in the Central Illinois area.

After I graduated, I went to work for Hewlett-Packard as part of their Professional Services Organization. I specialized on Internet technologies. After spending about 2 years there, I decided that I wanted to focus on computer security, and that I wanted to work for a smaller company.

In early 1998, I left HP and went to work for a smaller consulting firm called International Network Services. I was a part of their Network Security Services. In October, 1999, INS was bought by Lucent and became part of their Lucent Netcare division.

In October, 1999, I left Lucent Netcare and joined Predictive Systems. I am a part of their Global Integrity Information Security practice.

In July, 2002, I was laid off from Predictive Systems as part of their "cost reduction" process. (A little side story - in the summer of 2002, Lucent spun off what had formerly been INS to a group of investors who re-took the name INS. In the summer of 2003, INS bought what remained of Predictive Systems.)

Instead of immediately looking for a new job, I took several months off during the summer to enjoy the time off and to focus on racing. (Hey, it was my first real time off since college.)

In October, 2002 (after race season was over), I started with Jefferson Wells International as a Technology Engagement Manager. I am again focusing on Information Security Consulting with them.
