My Background
I am an independent information security consultant, author, keynote speaker, and expert witness with over two decades of experience in IT -- the last 14 years of which I've dedicated to information security. Before starting Principle Logic, LLC in 2001, I served in various information technology and security roles for several healthcare, e-commerce, financial firms, educational institutions, and consulting organizations.

As an information security expert, I've appeared on CNN television and have been quoted in Men's Health and Women's Health magazines. I have presented at seminars and conferences over 100 times and have been a top-rated speaker at shows for RSA, CSI, and IIA. I now focus on information security seminars and keynoting IT and information security shows most recently for Hewlett-Packard, IDC, ISSA, ISACA, and The Georgia Society of CPAs.

I am author/co-author of seven books on information security including the highly-successful ethical hacking book Hacking For Dummies, Hacking Wireless Networks For Dummies, Securing the Mobile Enterprise For Dummies, and Laptop Encryption For Dummies (all by Wiley ) as well as The Definitive Guide to Email Management and Security (Realtimepublishers.com) and The Practical Guide to HIPAA Privacy and Security Compliance (Auerbach). In addition, I am a contributing author and editor of the book Healthcare Information Systems, 2nd edition by Auerbach Publications, technical editor of the book Network Security For Dummies by Wiley Publishing, and technical editor for over a dozen books and whitepapers for Realtimepublishers.com.

In addition to my books, I am the creator and author of the Security On Wheels information security audio programs providing security learning for IT professionals on the go. I also have an associated blog at securityonwheels.com/blog. I am regular contributor of information security content for SearchEnterpriseDesktop.com, SearchCompliance.com, SearchWindowsServer.com, SearchWinIT.com, SearchSoftwareQuality.com, and Security Technology Executive magazine.

I am the founder and past president of the Technology Association of Georgia’s Information Security Society and serve as an IT advisory board member for two Atlanta-based colleges. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering Technology from Southern College of Technology and my master’s degree in Management of Technology from Georgia Tech. I also hold the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) certification which I obtained in 2001.
