I speak at the intersection of cybersecurity, operational technology, and real-world impact, primarily across food systems, agriculture, and zoos and aquariums as part of critical infrastructure that doesn’t always get enough attention.My background spans over 25 years in technology, along with experience in environmental systems and industrial operations, which shapes how I approach risk. I don’t treat cybersecurity as an IT problem. In the environments I work in, it manifests as production downtime, food safety issues, animal welfare concerns, supply chain disruptions, health/safety risks, and broader operational risks.I’ve delivered keynotes, conference talks, panels, and podcasts across industry, community, and global events. My focus is on making complex topics practical and relevant to the people who actually operate these systems, not just those who secure them.I tend to speak in stories and analogies because that’s how people actually understand this work. Most of the audiences I work with aren’t cybersecurity experts (they’re the ones running the systems), so I translate risk into terms they already recognize in their day-to-day environments.Most of my talks center on cyber-physical risk, the human side of cybersecurity, and how digital systems are changing the way these environments function day to day.
