What do you like most about your job? It’s a position of perpetual changes and new learning opportunities on a daily basis. I get to thoroughly evaluate every new device, technology, security strategy and attack that comes along. Vendors listen to my opinion.

What does your job entail? Anything involving the network – basically making sure people get the information they are looking for. We have 400 restaurants and all of the information captured there needs to find its way to headquarters.

I had worked first in physical security and then in law enforcement since I was 18 years-old. But I got tired of getting shot at, literally. So I decided to do something more sedate. I worked on officers' computers. I went into a computer helpdesk role back in 2000. I had the joy of finding out that you could do computers and security and I have never looked back.
