I’m a cybersecurity practitioner, modern workplace professional, people leader, MSP veteran, content creator, husband, and father.

Hi, I’m Dom.

I’ve been in technology for over twelve years, starting out in the classic starting point of support during my sophomore year of high school. I’ve since grown my career and today I work in digital transformation and cybersecurity in the SMB arena. I’m here to evangelize and raise the tide so that everyone can live a more secure digital life.
