Chad has been dedicated to educating industry professionals about cybersecurity for over 20 years. While consulting with financial institutions, he saw the need to empower employees to be better prepared to confidently handle cybersecurity threats, create and manage strong information security programs, and understand ever-changing regulations.

Chad maintains his CISSP, CISA, CRISC, and CDPSE certifications. He received his Bachelor of Science in Computer Information Systems and Master of Science in Information Assurance from Dakota State University, a Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education designated by the NSA.
