I currently serve as CPO at F5.

I was the CTO & CISO of Imperva (2018-2024), a leader in application and data security. As CTO, I helped shape our strategic direction and vision. As CISO, I helped keep our customers, partners, and company safe.

I co-founded Prevoty (2013-2018), a company specializing in modern runtime security. As a startup CTO, I led our engineering and product management teams.

I've worked with exceptional teams at the BBC Worldwide, MySpace, and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

I earned an undergraduate degree from Babson College.

I live in the Pacific Northwest with my lovely wife, two amazing kids, and a rambunctious dog.
