It's Time We Meet
Let’s Succeed Together
About the Owner (Gary)
Starting My Own Gig
It took me over ten years to finally come to the realization that I needed to start my own business. I've supported SPAWAR (Charleston) since 2010 by providing information assurance (cybersecurity) services and have been in the National Guard just as long as a Signal Officer. It's not that those aren't fun, I just needed something of my own creation to work on.
Now, equipped with real-world experience, I feel like I can help other small business owners apply the methodologies I've learned as a contractor and a service member to secure their businesses.
As a professional IT Consultant, I believe in hard work, giving clients outstanding service, creating partnerships with a purpose, and always striving for perfection. Contact me today for an initial consultation, and find out more about how I can tailor my services to fit your needs.
So Why Hire Me?
Dedicated, Trusted & Experienced
IT/IA Contractor, NIWC-Atlantic
DoD Information Assurance (Cybersecurity) is what I have been steeped in for the last nine years. Having worked with the Navy, NAVAIR, and the Marine Corps as a contractor has given me the well-rounded experience needed coming from an Army background. From Analyst to Engineer, and now Project Manager, I have worked my way up through the ranks demonstrating the desire to grow and capacity for greater responsibility.
Signal/Cyber Officer (CPT), Army National Guard
I have always believed there is a higher calling that I must serve. I am proud to serve in the Army and that experience has further aided in my own professional development which in turn, encouraged me to start my own business.
For over a decade, the US government has entrusted me with some of the highest, most stringent clearances, which serves as proof that I have been vetted and can be trusted. I hope to earn your trust and business as well.
Formal Educational Experience
Master's of Professional Studies - Homeland Security focused in Infosec & Forensics
Bachelor of Science and Business Administration - Computer Information Systems
Certifications: Project Mgmt Professional (PMP), Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP), Certified Ethical Hacker (C|EH), among others
Oddities and Fun Facts
I built my first computer late in my life (age 23), its name is Megatron.
I knew I wanted to be in IT before college. That's why I chose Signal as my military branch right out of ROTC.
I am self-taught on the drums and I'm the most OK drummer in Charleston, SC.
Music is a passion of mine. My collection ranges from oldies to heavy metal.
IT is fun but I really like to get outside as much as I can. I enjoy ALL the outdoor activities.
My long term goal is to eventually add penetration testing (ethical hacking) to my portfolio of services.
