First Post

Welcome to my professional blog. If you made it here, thanks for your support.

Creating content is something that I've often left to other people; I could always come up with a list of reasons to leave it to the "professionals". In the last few years working in cloud incident response, I've slowly come to learn that this is it -- we are the professionals.

Businesses are rapidly adopting the cloud. Cloud Incident Responders work on the front lines for security incidents. We see the common misconfigurations that lead to security incidents, and have expert advice and experience to offer.

The more I have learned, the more I have wanted to open my learnings up for professional feedback and knowledge exchange. A colleague & friend inspired me to take the leap and start the blog. So here we are! 

I took the photo above when touring Nevada for a possible move. I was driving around Lake Tahoe in a rental. When I snapped it, I remember thinking that it was a good representation of a lot of things. I could only see the road in front of me, just far enough to continue forward for a few minutes, but not far enough to see around the bend.

I'm not sure where the blog and public speaking pages will end up, but for now, I'd like to venture into online dialogue.
