I really loved mentorship by Aric. He is warm, competent and great at explaining the thought process of how one can succeed in the field. I was a little confused about direction, but Aric helped me become more certain of both direction and myself.

I’ve been working with Aric since early 2025 during a career transition to individual contributor roles in threat intelligence and detection engineering. Throughout this process, Aric has been incredibly strategic and supportive. When I was overwhelmed trying to do everything at once, he helped me focus on upskilling in areas that appeared most frequently in job postings rather than trying to master everything. He reviewed multiple iterations of my resume with specific, actionable feedback and helped me create targeted versions for different role types. When I finally landed an interview after dozens of applications, his guidance on navigating multiple technical rounds and timing sensitive conversations was spot-on. What sets Aric apart is his genuine investment in mentee success. He connected me directly with senior professionals in the field through warm introductions that led to valuable conversations and opportunities. Even when I needed to pause our mentorship for financial or personal reasons, he remained supportive and checked in regularly. He celebrated my project completions and kept me motivated during the inevitable job search grind. Aric brings both technical credibility and real empathy for the challenges of career transitions. If you’re navigating a shift in cybersecurity, especially into threat intelligence or detection engineering, I highly recommend working with him.
