Orcannus Cyber Security

I’m a cybersecurity executive and red team leader with 25+ years building and leading security programs across enterprise, government, and higher education environments. I founded Orcannus Cybersecurity to help organizations reduce risk exposure, strengthen resilience, and translate complex threats into clear, executive level decisions. 
My foundation in high pressure, mission critical operations began in the U.S. Navy as a Submarine Sonar Technician aboard the USS Los Angeles (SSN 688), where I supported sensitive reconnaissance and SEAL missions throughout the Pacific—an experience that still informs my calm, operationally rigorous leadership style
Focus areas:
•    Red Team Operations, Adversary Simulation & Penetration Testing 
•    Incident Response Readiness & Threat Containment 
•    Governance, Risk & Compliance (NIST, CIS, ISO) and Security Program Development 
•    Security Architecture, Zero Trust, and Cloud Identity (Azure AD) 
•    Executive Cyber Briefings, Board Reporting & Security Road mapping 
I’m also active in my community as a speaker and volunteer with the Cherokee Cyber Commission and was recognized by the Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce as Volunteer of the Quarter—a commitment to service that runs parallel to my client work.
