A 25-Year Journey

From Digital Protection to Legal Advocacy

What began as a mission to protect my children’s digital future has evolved into a commitment to safeguarding everyone’s rights in our increasingly connected world.

As a parent watching my young children grow up alongside the Internet in the early 2000s, I recognized that email would be crucial to their future. This sparked a mission to help keep digital communications safe, usable, and trustworthy. Over two decades later, that same drive to protect people’s rights and dignity has evolved into a broader calling that combines technical expertise with legal advocacy.

Now I work to ensure that both technical systems and legal frameworks serve human needs. Whether helping organizations implement privacy protections or serving as court-appointed counsel for vulnerable individuals, I focus on practical solutions that honor both human rights and real-world realities.

From Policy Enforcement to Policy Making

Throughout my career, I was responsible for enforcing privacy and security policies, but I often found myself excluded from the critical discussions where these policies were shaped. 

I realized that I needed to bridge the gap between technical expertise and legal authority to protect individual rights in our digital age. Now, with both technical knowledge and legal credentials, I ensure that practical realities inform legal decisions and that human dignity remains at the center of technical solutions.

My Commitment to Protection

Practical Knowledge

Translating complex technical and legal concepts into implementable solutions

Legal Advocacy

Serving as court-appointed counsel to protect the interests of vulnerable individuals

Community Service

Training the next generation in first aid and emergency response

Community Engagement

My commitment to community service extends beyond legal practice. As an elder at the Woodlands Church of Christ, I continue a decade-long tradition of teaching and preaching. Through Scouts, BSA’s Crew 911, I help to provide Emergency Medical Response and Wilderness & Remote First Aid training to youth, helping develop the next generation of community leaders.

This combination of technical expertise, legal knowledge, and community service allows me to approach each matter with a unique perspective focused on practical, human-centered solutions.
