Security isn’t a buzzword; it’s a craft he sharpened from blue collar grit in construction, the U.S. Army working on Apache Helicopters, to high-stakes federal work across the White House and Department of Homeland Security, and then into entrepreneurship. That’s a trajectory that doesn’t just sound good it actually equips him to solve problems others can’t. Nick Lawless He’s been featured in Business Insider and Yahoo!
