Hello everyone!  My name is Jon and I’m a career changer.  After 11+ years in EMS as an EMT and Paramedic, I decided to change careers to go back into IT and tech. I have taken an interest in Cyber Security as well as Cloud as I see that to be the way things will be going into the foreseeable future.  So why not learn more about going into CloudSec?

I also started a YouTube Channel to make more tech-related videos of projects that I am working on as well as a Twitch Channel to interact and create a community of like-minded gamers and tech enthusiasts.

I’m also getting more into Cybersecurity again.  I’m preparing for my CompTIA Security+ exam and delving into Penetration Testing on TryHackMe.
