The idea of spreading knowledge to save lives is a calling that has embraced me since the first time I raised my hand.

It was my pleasure to see the positive energy that my students put into attaining good employment with some going on to higher education. It was exciting being invited to NYU, in New York City, to give a Security course to a full class and it was for a certification. My instructions started back in 2001 and now this webpage.
