User Profile
I'm a cybersecurity specialist, consulting producer, & general space geek.
For my day job, I read books that cover online identity, security, & privacy. Having earned my degree in astronomy, I enjoy reading about the latest research into physics and cosmology. I'm also a history buff, and frequently dive into complicated geopolitical events and biographies. On the fiction side, I dig mystery, hard sci-fi, and psychological thrillers. Rounding things out... I love me a good graphic novel!
