About Richard

Retired E-7 Spent 5 in the US Army and 21 years in the US Air Force. I was in the Command and Control Field and FIST (Fire Support). I have an MBA in IT Management - Master in Secondary Education; BS in IT Management; 4 AS degrees. I am currently Semi-retired. However, my current workload is that of an IT Security manager (ISSO/FSO) for the company. I also serve as their Sr Security Audit/Project Manager. We perform Security Audit for both the Government and the private sectors. Our governmental contracts are all related to the security field and require security clearances to be involved in any of the sections of the contract. That's kind of my 30 second elevator pitch.
