Favorite band: I have very eclectic taste in music. Not sure I have a favorite these days.
Favorite thing about working for the Army: There are always new challenges to work through. The Information Assurance rules and Security Technical Implementation Guide change, the technologies changes, even the hardware changes, but the security still has to be tight

I spent many years growing up in the Hawk major items building on Hicks Road. I was comfortable around military personnel and it just seemed a natural fit.
