Bio

I am a retired U.S. Army Signal Corps Non-Commissioned Officer turned tech entrepreneur and Principal Network Engineer. With over 18 years of experience in cybersecurity, infrastructure, and network architecture, my aim is to channel my deep-rooted expertise into creative ventures that merge tech with culture.

I am the founder, creator of Slash-32, a disruptive techwear brand that blends IT symbolism, cybersecurity culture, and digital expression into fashion. I also am the founder of NENZEN LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business focused on delivering specialized IT services.

Driven by innovation and community, I am seeking to attend events, and join organizations like this to connect with fellow technologists, creatives, and founders who believe in pushing boundaries. Whether it’s discussing binary design, startup journeys, or new-age techwear, I am always looking for meaningful exchanges that inspire collaboration and forward motion.
