Hello, I am Glenn Cross. I am an Information Security Analyst - contractor for the NAVY. I am currently enrolled in a Masters of Science in Information Assurance through an online graduate program with Capitol College in Laurel, MD. My current roles and skills are in Computer Network Defense and Certification and Accreditation of Systems within the Department of the Navy.  I still have fun managing a few web site, editing images with Photoshop, and producing screenshot videos for training purposes in my job using CamStudio program. I love to create and innovate to effectively communicate what matters. PowerPoint slideshows are boring without good pictures!
