Consulting Manager for Berry, Dunn, McNeil and Parker, a public accounting firm located in Portland, Maine.

I have been a systems engineer, network admin, webmistress, managed firewalls and intrusion detection systems for over ten years. I’m a Certified Novell Engineer (the BEST networked OS), Certified Ethical Hacker, Microsoft Certified Professional, Certified Information Systems Auditor, and a Certified Informations Systems Security Professional. I guess all that means I’m certifiable….

For five years after systems adminstration, I’ve been a pentester, done PCI exams for Tier 1 and 2 vendors, been assisting and attesting auditor for SOX 404 exams, and completed 40 or so SAS 70 Type 2s. Last year I was in fifteen different states doing audits.

I’ve seen it all…..

I also have two Master’s degrees, one in Divinity from Episcopal Divinity School and the other in Information Assurance from Norwich University.

Under my desk at work I have: Windows 2000 (with SQL 2000), Windows 2003 (with SQL 2005), Debian (with Oracle 10), and Backtrack. I’m a total GEEK.

Who is responsible for secure systems? I am. You are.
