Welcome to my personal site.  I’m a network security professional serving in the US Navy with just about 7 years of experience.  I blog mostly about security or technology related topics here and keep track of some of the projects I have going on.  I occasionally show up with segments on the popular internet show Hak.5.

I have extensive experience in analysis of all sorts, technical writing, intrusion detection systems, and a variety of technical IT skills.  Some of my qualifications include:

• CompTIA Network+
• EC-Council Certified Ethical Hacker
• SANS GIAC Security Essentials Certification
• SANS GIAC Certified Incident Handler
• ISC2 Certified Information Systems Security Professional

You can usually find me on the Mint IRC network (irc.mintirc.net) in the channel #hak5 or feel free to use the digsby widget on the site to IM me.  You can also email me at cgerlingjr+site_inquiry@gmail.com and use the PGP key on the Contact page if you feel the need to encrypt it.
