About Ben

As Chief Technology Officer at W3, I oversee the strategic operation, security, and performance of our firm’s IT infrastructure. My primary focus is on protecting both company and client data by implementing robust cybersecurity measures, conducting regular security updates, monitoring for potential threats, and educating users on emerging cyber risks.

Our client services include comprehensive network setup, technical support (both remote and on-site), security assessments, and disaster recovery planning. With a background spanning multiple roles across the IT and cybersecurity landscape, I bring deep experience in addressing today’s complex digital challenges.

I’m passionate about delivering secure, scalable technology solutions that not only safeguard data but also drive operational efficiency. At W3, our mission is to remove the technological barriers that hinder business growth by providing dynamic, client-centered solutions that keep systems running smoothly and securely.

Hobbies and Personal Interests

Outside of work, I hold certifications as a personal trainer and nutritionist, finding fulfillment in guiding clients toward their fitness aspirations. I take pleasure in supporting and helping them achieve their health and wellness goals.
I’ve been dubbed a “fire extinguisher” due to my knack for swiftly resolving computer issues. Just as a fire extinguisher tackles emergencies, I thrive in addressing and resolving technical challenges promptly, ensuring a seamless and efficient computing experience for those I assist.
