About
I lead Clarity Cyber, a Maryland-based small business that delivers cyber security and secure systems engineering for government and commercial clients. I joined in 2024 as an engineer and manager, and became CEO in 2025, carrying forward a family legacy of technical excellence.
I came to this from the classroom. I taught physics at Towson High School and systems engineering at Capitol Technology University. Teaching gave me the part of the job I value most: taking complex, high-stakes requirements and breaking them into clear steps a team can act on.
