About

I specialize in building enterprise adversary-focused assessment teams, which have performed thousands of engagements for large private-sector organizations and major government agencies. Before I focused on building teams, I spent several years conducting highly specialized, large-scale adversarial operations against a variety of targets. In addition, I've built several training courses focused on red team operations methodologies, given at places such as the Black Hat security conference.

In my previous life, I was a senior technical lead for the National Security Agency Red Team, providing mission direction through numerous large-scale operations.
