HI THERE! I’M KEVIN
ABOUT ME
I am a father to two amazing boys, husband to a supportive and loving wife, Soldier, traveler and life long learner. If there is a lesson I have learned in life it is that change and growth are constant, and with every experience comes a new chapter waiting to be written. The person I am today is because of the experiences and relationships I have shared along the way.
​
Most recently I embarked on the journey to obtain my Master's of Science in Information Studies from the University of Texas at Austin. My focus is in Data Analytics and Information Security. Simultaneously, I participated in the Army's Green to Gold commissioning program to make the transition from an enlisted Military All-Source Intelligence Noncommissioned Officer to a Commissioned Cyber Operations Officer. After graduation, I will report to Augusta, Georgia to begin my training in cyber operations warfare.

Cyber operations officers oversee both offensive and defensive cyberspace operations in support of the full range of military programs. Offensive operations involve the application of computer capabilities to target the capabilities of enemies and hostile adversaries.

Some cyber officers focus on offensive or defensive operations, while others integrate the two to support military operations.
