Bio

As an advocate for sustainable security solutions, I have written numerous articles, blogs, and presentations for delivery throughout the Rocky Mountain region as the designated cyber ''go-to'' resource under a DoD grant awarded to the NIST Manufacturing Extension Partnership Program. I have assisted more than 50 organizations within critical infrastructure sectors on cybersecurity implementation projects, with a strong emphasis on NIST SP 800-171 and related frameworks. As of June 30, 2022, I returned to work full time on my personal practice, Conundrum Creek Consulting, which I first registered in 1999.
