Practical readiness, evidence workflows, and control verification for organizations that must implement and prove legally binding requirements under formal scrutiny. Focus on what survives examination, interviews, and testing, not theater.

• Evidence workflows that hold up: Build System Security Plans and evidence packages with inline citations back to source documentation, so claims can be traced when someone asks hard questions.
• Readiness & gap analysis: Map control implementation to real operations, surface gaps early, and draft practical remediation plans (including POA&Ms where they apply).
• Control verification: Examine evidence, conduct structured interviews, and test controls against contractually and legally binding requirements, the examine-interview-test discipline.
• AI-assisted drafting: Use localized RAG models to compile security documentation from client evidence repositories, cutting drafting cycles from weeks toward hours without inventing facts.
• Air-gapped AI for regulated orgs: Design offline and VPC-contained AI workflows so regulated teams can use modern tooling without exposing sensitive material to public cloud services.

Building a multi-vertical portfolio of digital ventures spanning the Bears brand ecosystem, fractional security leadership, AI tooling, EV technology, and specialty automotive. Managing 35+ domain assets across strategic niches.

• Portfolio Architecture: Designed and deployed a multi-domain portfolio spanning security consulting, luxury goods sourcing, EV technology, specialty automotive maintenance, property inspection, and creative services. Each site operates as an independent authority hub with its own lead capture, content, and monetization path.
• Fractional security leadership: Embedded security leadership for Pacific Northwest organizations preparing for formal scrutiny: gap analysis, evidence repositories, and programs built for operational reality.
• AI Workflow Automation: Developing air-gapped retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems for sensitive environments. Building processes that work the same way every time so regulated organizations can adopt AI without exposing controlled data to external cloud services.

20+ years of hands-on enterprise technology experience: maintaining, repairing, securing, and transforming infrastructure across industries, from commercial fitness equipment to mission-critical enterprise systems.

• Infrastructure Transformation: Led multi-site network overhauls including server migrations, firewall rule consolidation, and endpoint protection rollouts. Managed transitions from legacy on-premises infrastructure to hybrid cloud environments while maintaining uptime requirements for 24/7 operations.
• Security Program Development: Built information security programs from the ground up for organizations with no prior formal security posture. Implemented access controls, incident response procedures, vulnerability scanning schedules, and employee security awareness training across organizations ranging from 50 to 500 employees.

Served in the weapons department of U.S. Navy ballistic missile submarines USS Casimir Pulaski (SSBN 633) and USS Ohio (SSBN 726), maintaining Trident C-4 missile and weapons systems. Developed the discipline and systems thinking required for absolute reliability under pressure.
