I’ve been in this space for about 20 years. Not quite sure how or why—maybe it’s the influence of James Bond, Star Wars, and detective shows from my childhood—but every time I’ve ventured into other roles, I always find myself back in corporate security. It’s like a bad habit I can’t quit, but hey, at least it’s a productive one.

I often get asked why I work in corporate security?

People often ask me, “Why corporate security?” Well, I’m a big picture kind of person who thrives on problem-solving. I love seeing how all the puzzle pieces fit together, even when some are hidden under the surface, manipulated by some puppet master. Once you uncover the full picture, you can implement a robust response. It’s like playing a real-life game of Cluedo, but with higher stakes and fewer butlers.

Security is a constantly evolving field—business, technology, people, and threats are always changing. If you crave constant challenges, this might just be your calling. Each day brings something new, which keeps things interesting.

Reflecting on my weeks, I feel like I’ve made a difference more often than not. Sure, no job is perfect, but for me, it’s about leaving things better than I found them.

My goal is to contribute to the profession and coach the next generation

I’ve always enjoyed coaching my team, and in 2022, I started teaching as a side hustle alongside my consulting job. If you’ve been following my posts, you know I started the Ship30for30 course to sharpen my digital writing skills. My aim? To write articles that truly resonate with my audience. Here’s to constant improvement and leaving a lasting impact.
