Hi everyone! My name is Heath Adams, but I also go by "The Cyber Mentor" on social media. I am the founder and CEO of TCM Security and while I am an ethical hacker by trade, I love to teach! I have taught courses on multiple platforms, including YouTube, Twitch, and INE.
In terms of certifications, I am currently OSCP, OSWP, eCPPTX, eWPT, CEH, Pentest+, CCNA, Linux+, Security+, Network+, and A+ certified.
I'm also a husband, animal dad, tinkerer, and military vet. I hope you enjoy my courses.
