Now living in Houston area, Q began working with computers at a young age in the Chicago area by watching his father program Main Frame computers. Originally having aspirations of working in the music industry, Q self-taught himself how to use various music editing programs to remaster his DJ mixes.

Q has been working in the IT field for over 15 years with a Bachelor’s in Networking Communication Management. He began working for a small MSSP, then working for an industrial data communications hardware manufacturer before taking on a new challenge in the Cybersecurity realm at ESET and finding his true calling as a Sales Engineer. Q has been in Cybersecurity for close to 10 years and has been helping CrowdStrike stop breaches for the last 5 years.

Aside from Cybersecurity, Q is very passionate about giving back to the community. He has volunteered with Party for Life, a 501c3 non-profit organization benefiting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital for the past 5 years and recently graciously accepted a role on the Board of Directors, serving as Vice-President. In what little time he has left, Q enjoys spending time with family and friends trying new cuisines and wines from around the world.
