I'm a 2-time National Champion in CyberPatriot, a national cybersecurity competition, and I train middle and high school students to do the same. I've also given lessons to hundreds of elementary school students based on what I've learned to be the most prevalent and dangerous cyber attacks. I develop educational video games, which I love to feature in my lessons.
