David is an accomplished cyber security engineer with 10 years of experience in information technology (IT) solutions. His responsibilities have included cyber security engineering, database administration, software development, and IT training and support. His expertise encompasses governmental agencies as well as small to medium size businesses.

David combines broad strengths in technology with expertise in IT solutions that are designed to support business practices efficiently and securely. Keenly aware of security’s attribute of restriction, his engineering philosophy is to “Build the system around the process, not the process around the system.” His philosophy has led to best practice recommendations, for multiple solutions, as high as the Senate Armed Services Committee. As a Department of Defense IT Specialist, David designed software solutions that saved hundreds of thousands of dollars every year in the medical processing of mobilizing Service Members. Most recently, David has served as the security engineer for the Air Traffic Control’s next generation program for satellite-based aircraft location information. His responsibilities included securing 3000+ devices across North America to make the air a safer place to travel.

David sits on the YMCA’s Risk Committee and is an Adjunct Professor for Rowan University and Rowan College of Burlington County developing and teaching cyber security courses. As a former Combat Medic in the Army, David has a deeper level of understanding of HIPAA compliance than other IT professionals. He has served to protect his Country on the battlefield overseas, and now serves to protect organizations on the virtual battlefield here at home.
