I'm a life-long Utahn and became a first-time home owner in Lehi in 2021. I live with my three kids (2, 5, and 8), and my two dogs (Golden Retriever and Siberian Husky). For hobbies, I race my Camaro and Tesla in the state's SCCA autocross, I'm a bullet-biker, I enjoy Utah's public hiking trails, I'm a firearm enthusiast, I'm a cryptocurrency enthusiast, I like tinkering with smart devices, and I like politics. In 2022, I ran as a Libertarian candidate for Utah's state house district 51. In Spring Semester 2023 and 2024, I taught the digital forensics investigations undergrad capstone as adjunct faculty at Utah Valley University.

I graduated from UVU with a B.S. in criminal justice with an emphasis in law enforcement and a minor in computer science. After my Bachelor's degree, I went back to UVU and graduated with a M.S. in Cybersecurity.

I'm a cybersecurity-specialized commissioner on the Utah Privacy Commission. I have worked in the tech sector for 20 years, with 7 years experience in software quality assurance and 7 years in cybersecurity. My B.S. in criminal justice, M.S. in cybersecurity, and my work in corporate cybersecurity policy gives me a unique perspective.
