Coding Vagabond was born from my love of coding and the idea of working remotely while traveling. While travel has taken a backseat for now, I am fully immersed in my academic and professional journey. My family and I currently live in Brentwood, Tennessee, where we moved from western Arkansas to support our son's education. My oldest son is a talented musician and composer, and our youngest son, who has special needs, continues to inspire us every day.

My career has been deeply rooted in web development, with several years spent freelancing—building websites and applications for businesses, schools, and organizations. Over the years, my focus has shifted towards cybersecurity, malware analysis, and cyber operations. I recently earned my Master of Science in Computer Science with a concentration in Cyber Operations from Dakota State University and have begun my PhD in Cyber Operations at DSU, with an expected graduation of May 2027.

Additionally, I have started creating videos to help educate others in cybersecurity and foundations in programming with security in mind. The videos will soon be uploaded to two different YouTube channels (Coding Desk and Class Hacked Academy) and will have accompanying blogs for each. The two blogs can be found at www.codingdesk.co and www.classhacked.academy. Of course, I wil be doing all of this while plugging away at my own studies. I plan to use these platforms to further my studies and research areas in Cybersecurity.
