Welcome to my website, I'm Nick!
I am a Dallas-based Information Security Administrator at the Medical Review Institute of America. I focus on analyzing logs, identifying vulnerabilities, and ensuring the security of sensitive medical data.
Outside of work, I enjoy a balance of quiet time and exploration. Whether it's watching shows like "The Rookie" or "Love Island," taking a road trip, or spending time in my home lab, I bring a calm and practical approach to everything I do.

I enjoy working with tools like Microsoft 365, Active Directory, PowerShell, and endpoint protection platforms.
