SHIELD 7 CONSULTING

John, one of the company’s co-founders, has been working in the IT  space since the early 90s. He began focusing mostly on IT Security in the late 90s by helping companies deploy firewall and intrusion detection system (IDS) technologies.

He served in the United States Air Force from 1990 to 1996 as a Cryptologic Linguist. While on active duty in the U.S. Air Force, he studied International Business at Hawaii Pacific University. John has over 25 years in the design, implementation, and support of various information technology systems, focused on cybersecurity. Many of his projects have affected thousands of end users, including high-profile accounts such as the White House Executive Residence, the Department of Justice, the Department of State, the National Security Agency, and many Fortune 500 companies. John has provided services as a cybersecurity consultant, assisting with SOC operations, Incident Response, Penetration Testing and Vulnerability analysis, Firewall Architecture, Identity Management, Endpoint Detection and Response, public and private cloud computing, and has provided technical instruction in these areas. His main philosophy, as it applies to his clients, is to always strive to do what is best for them and their business. His goal is to make his direct contacts look like superstars to their organization.

John has six kids and spends most of his “free time” driving them to and from activities. He enjoys spending time in the summer at whatever beach his beautiful wife tells him to go to.
