Testimonials 

Jon made security approachable for me by either being a tome of knowledge or a rubber ducky to bounce ideas off as needed. His curiosity and approach encourage you to recognize and question your own assumptions and ultimately make you a better engineer. On a strategic level, he’s done things like sat down with me and gone over nearly every worthwhile infosec cert, and on a tactical level he was there to help coach me through what it meant to represent the interests of information security and how to collaborate with other departments to do so effectively. 10/10 would work with again.

​I have had the distinct honor to work with and be mentored by Jon Martin for over 2 years. After Jon left my current company, I continued to utilize his guidance to grow within my InfoSec career. Within the past 2 years, Jon has been invaluable to my development as he counseled me on decisions to further my career. Jon has not only advised me on the technical aspects, but also the business side of information security. This career path can be challenging at times, but Jon’s extensive knowledge of the IT Security industry has contributed to my continued success. I would whole-heartily recommend Jon to anyone trying to grow and expand their IT career.

​I had the chance to work with Jon for almost two years. When he started working as my coworker, I was just promoted to IT support specialist, and I really needed someone who knew network and security in all aspects. Jon was the one who brought a wealth of experience, and I could feel confident turning to him for any questions. Not only was he accepting of me, but he made sure to explain things to me until he was sure that concepts were fully understood. Another helpful aspect of working with Jon was the fact that he was always positive. I remember him telling me not to underestimate myself all the time. As a network and security engineer, Jon was so detail-oriented; he really dove deep into the ins and outs of the technology before he implemented it. This helped him to be fully confident at the time of leveraging that technology. I would definitely recommend Jon as a mentor and guide to anyone who wants to pick IT as career, or if they are lost and need back on the right track for their IT career.
