About Me

My name is Tom. I'm a husband, father, and grandfather. After I retired from the Army in 2022, I worked as a penetration tester for a few years before gravitating toward teaching. I'm now in the process of getting my own project off the ground. I started Eagle Rising Information Security to provide high-quality foundational cybersecurity content to students (or anyone else getting started). My goal is to present information in an easy to understand way, and in a manner which is accessible for anyone, regardless of where they are in their information security journey.


My Philosophy

  • Cybersecurity can be learned. Nobody is born just knowing all this.
  • Don't try to learn everything all at once. Try to get 1% better every day.
  • Everyone learns differently. Try to avoid comparing yourself to others. You don't owe anyone anything.
  • Find your own flow.
