Show me a 50 foot wall and I'll show you a 51 foot ladder.

Adam is an Infrastructure and Security Engineer with nearly a decade's experience designing, deploying, maintaining, and securing cloud and on-premise data center network and server infrastructure. He is skilled in Vulnerability Management and Remediation, CSPM, SIEM, Logging Infrastructure, Active Directory, EDR, Windows, Linux, PowerShell, Splunk, and Okta. Adam’s affinity for tinkering and solving complex problems is what brought him into the info security space and he finds satisfaction in knowing he’s helping contribute to securing the 99% out there through his work at Huntress. 


Adam is a Splunk Enterprise-Certified Administrator, and we appreciate that he is always willing to expand his already-expansive toolkit to solve a new problem.  Previously in Healthcare Tech, he worked to secure the infrastructure behind the portfolio of SaaS applications at WellSky.

Outside of work, Adam is constantly tinkering and solving puzzles (he recently found a way to store his movie collection in the Windows Event Log). Just how committed is he? Adam even has a tattoo of Clippy on his knee. (Remember Clippy?)
