While in the US Army as a CID Special Agent and the Senior Computer Forensic Examiner for
the US Army it was my responsibility to investigate felony crimes involving the use of a
computer, which ranged from identity theft, bribery, graft, economic crime, fraud, and network
intrusion of the Army and DOD network infrastructure.
As the Sr. Director of Professional Development and Training at Guidance Software it is my
responsibility to maintain the day-to-day operation of the 23 person team responsible for an
annual 8.8 million dollar business. During my tenure as the Director of Curriculum development
it was my responsibility to lead a team of highly qualified forensic examiners and instructors to
develop curriculum to be used in class. I personally designed and implemented the virtual
classroom (VClass) for Guidance Software, providing another delivery method for our
customers and making our training more consumable in a more economically responsible way.
As the Sr. Director, I oversaw the development of the Guidance Software’s new certification
CFSR.
During the 20 years and 18 days I served in the Army, I was Special Agent with the US Army
Criminal Investigation Command. I was qualified as an expert in computer forensics and
testified as such on many occasions in both Federal and Military court. The Army was a very
special place for me because I joined at 17 and retired at 37. The military developed me into
the person I am today. Growing up in the military I learned what competence, candor,
commitment, integrity, and loyalty really means. I believe in doing what is right even when no
one is looking. I believe in extreme leadership. As a leader, my attitude will almost always
determine whether my team succeeds or fails. I also believe that leaders who are more focused
on the mission and less on personal gain always accomplish it with a more effective and
efficient outcome. I believe leadership requires belief in the mission and unyielding
perseverance to achieve victory, particularly when doubters question whether it is even
possible. My style of leadership is dynamic in that I can change the style based on the
individual needing the leadership at that time and place.
I believe in getting my hands dirty as well and not just telling people what to do but leading them
from the front on how to do it and set the standards of excellence so they know the expectations
and know what it takes to achieve them.

5. For the last 9 years it has been my privilege to utilize 15 members of the training staff to setup
the EnFuse conference, (previously CEIC) networking environment and coordinate all speaker
materials, as well as instruct at the conference.
I believe my most valuable traits are integrity, loyalty, ethical, and grounded in morality.
