About this session

An introductory call is a simple way to get to know a mentor before committing to ongoing mentorship. This session gives you the chance to ask questions, talk through your goals, and see whether the mentor’s background, communication style, and approach feel like the right fit for you. It is a low-pressure starting point designed to help you make a more confident decision.

You can use the call to share what you are working on, what kind of support you are looking for, and where you feel stuck right now. It is also a chance to understand how the mentor typically works with mentees, what kind of guidance they can offer, and whether there is a strong mutual fit. The goal is to leave the conversation with more clarity on your next step and whether you want to continue working together.

Your mentor

As a Security Engineer that has come from a number of different organizations and leaders. I have learned quite a bit over my career. I would be happy to sit down with you and learn how I can leverage my experience to answer any questions you might have or guidance I can give.

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.”

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.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​”

He goes above and beyond, and you'll definitely see value in working with him!”
