Hey! I’m Chris, a Solutions Architect helping some of the world’s most recognizable professional sports teams navigate the complexities of networking and security. I’ve spent my career working for Silicon Valley tech companies and have seen the technology landscape evolve from several different vantage points. That journey eventually led me to Cisco. As much as I love educating my customers, I am still a student at heart. I'm currently working toward a Doctorate of Engineering in Cybersecurity Analytics at GWU. For me, it isn’t just about the degree; it’s about staying sharp enough to help the next generation of tech leaders find their path. When the laptop closes, you can find me on the Judo/JiuJitsu mats or traveling on an adventure somewhere remote and with limited cell phone service. I’m a Chicago guy who loves the discipline of martial arts and the diverse perspective you get by stepping out of your comfort zone. I’m here to share how we can use our tech skills—and a little Time2Give—to do something that actually matters.
