Summary
Thirteen years keeping Microsoft environments running, from reimaging PCs on a deployed air base to administering Entra ID and Intune for a law firm today.
I specialize in Microsoft cloud identity and endpoint management, and I build infrastructure and security detection labs (Windows Server, Active Directory, VMware, SIEM) on my own time to stay current with enterprise environments. U.S. Army veteran known for reliability, clear communication, and follow-through under pressure.
