He served as Defensive Director for the 2018 and 2020 election security efforts, developed the Hunt Forward program for identifying and evicting adversaries from foreign networks, and created the public disclosure program that shifted the US Government’s approach to releasing threat intelligence.

He deployed twice to Afghanistan, including during the major force drawdown where he managed telecommunications security across the retrograde of Marine Corps equipment. He deployed to the Mediterranean and Middle East with the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit, and supported hurricane relief operations in the US Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and Key West following Hurricanes Irma and Maria. He served with the Chemical Biological Incident Response Force, the Marine Corps’ dedicated CBRNE consequence management unit, where he led standby emergency response forces for multiple National Special Security Events including a Presidential Inauguration and G-20 Summit.
