Our Leadership
Justin
Justin is the Founder of Archangel Cyber Defense, a trusted leader in cybersecurity solutions tailored to the dental industry. With over two decades of hands-on experience, Justin has earned recognition for recovering one of the first dental practices in the U.S. to fall victim to ransomware. Vowing to never do that again, he's maintained an impressive 15-year—and counting—streak of ransomware-free operations.
An expert in IT operational efficiency, network security, cloud infrastructure, and data backup strategies, Justin blends deep technical knowledge with an intimate understanding of the dental industry's unique needs—an insight he cultivated from his first dental practice experience at the age of 12.
Justin holds an engineering degree from Texas A&M University, is an active member of the FBI’s InfraGard program, and serves as a strategic advisor to Barracuda Networks. When he's not fortifying digital perimeters, he enjoys hiking, camping, hunting, and fishing with his wife and seven incredible children.
Support Team
Cameron
Nerd by hobby and now by trade. As an IT Support Specialist, I am happy to be helping people understand and utilize technology in ways that work for them. Some of my hobbies include collecting, restoring, and digitizing VHS tapes, playing board and video games, tinkering in my homelab, exploring the local beauty of the Hudson Valley, and being the best dad I can be to my cat and plants.
Addison
Born in Buffalo, NY and raised in Richmond, VA. I now live with my wife in Midlothian, VA and our dog Tater Tot. I am an experienced "hardware IT" guy and am slowly learning the software portion! I have had many jobs such as Air Force jet mechanic, carpet cleaner, door repair man, plumber assistant, computer technician assistant, teacher for kids with autism, and most recently was an occupational therapist before taking the leap toward IT. Feel free to ask me about anything if you want a good story!
Cassie
Born in Gainesville, Florida, and raised in Williston, Florida. My grandfather was my introduction to technology. I would break and fix his old Dell desktop and from there, I fell in love. My biggest passion is breeding and training working line dogs. I currently own five English Labrador Retrievers. I have many plans down the road to get into other breeds and certain sports. When my life is not taken over by my dogs, I am usually out hiking, watching anime, playing PC games, or collecting new artisan keycaps. I also really love playing chess.
Jonathan
Hey everyone, I’m Jonathan! I work in IT and really enjoy troubleshooting issues and helping people get back up and running. I’m always looking to learn something new and get more hands-on with different systems and tools. Outside of work, I spend most of my time with my wife and our three kids. I’m also big into fitness, so you’ll usually find me in the gym after work. I’m excited to be here, be part of the team, and get to know everyone!
Brett
I’ve always enjoyed the hands-on challenge of solving problems and keeping systems running smoothly, which is what led me to get my CompTIA A+ and Network+ certifications. When I’m off the clock, I’m usually hanging out with my cat, Chester, or gaming, mostly WoW Classic and Battlefield 6.
Chris
I am located in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. I have over 13 years of experience in various roles in IT. In addition to technology, I have a love for martial arts and crisis intervention. I study Tang Soo Do and volunteer with our local crisis center as a remote crisis first responder.
CJ
I reside in California near Los Angeles with my wife and our dog Louie. I've earned my A+ Certification and am now working towards Network+ and eventually my Security+ Certs. Outside of work I enjoy playing video games both casually and competitively, hanging out with my wife and dog, playing Magic the Gathering with friends, and playing golf.
Dylan
Born and raised in the St. Louis area, I now reside a short drive from Orlando. I started working in IT in 2015 and over the years have worked across a variety of industries, from server maintenance to internet radio. I love being presented with problems I have never seen before as it gives me an opportunity to learn new things to carry forward in my career. I am currently in the process of teaching myself Mandarin for no reason other than I wanted to learn something different.

Bleigh
Born and raised in Muncie, IN where I also got my degree a BS in Computer Technology at Ball State University. I have worked for MSPs in the roles of System Analyst and IT Support Specialist the past 3 years before joining Archangel. Outside of work I mainly spend time with my animals and family. I also enjoy video games, football/basketball, and watching anime.
Byron
I have always had a passion for technology and it is honestly my comfort zone. Even when I finish my degree and start teaching I will still work in tech to supplement my income. I enjoy spending time with my family and dogs. Camping, gaming and playing with my homelab. I'm entirely self taught and will be taking the exam for my A+ certifications soon.
Jared
I’ve always been driven by a curiosity for how things work and, more importantly, how to fix them when they don't. That mindset keeps me constantly exploring new systems and tools, and it's backed by my certifications as a CompTIA A+ technician, Apple Teacher, and Google AI Professional. When I’m not diving into a new technical challenge, you’ll usually find me programming, tinkering with my homelab, or getting into amateur radio. I also make plenty of time for gaming, whether it’s a deep JRPG or a competitive e-sports match.
Brandon
My name is Brandon . I currently reside in South Carolina with my wife, son and two dogs. I love music and sports. I love to travel with family and friends. Helping others and putting positive energy into the world is my passion.
Hayden
I am a college student finishing up my Bachelor's in Information Technology. I have always been curious about how things work in the tech world. My real passion for information security began when I watched my mom constantly fall victim to credit card scams and phishing links growing up. I was born and raised in Florida. I enjoy playing video games, and playing around with security software!
John
I am from Saint George, Utah. I have just started getting my foot in the IT world. I love reading just about any fantasy book I can get my hands on. The book I read most recently is Red Rising. I have a wife and two kids who I enjoy spending all of my time with. When I am not with them, I love playing video games, hiking, touring national parks, reading, and watching anime.
Mitchel
Born and raised in Michigan, I'm a dedicated cybersecurity student, starting my career off in IT. I'm passionate about technology and I love problem solving! Nothing brings me more joy than playing with my linux terminal- it's like a text based game. Outside of my studies and work, I enjoy going to the gym, gaming, building pc's, and reading.... lots of reading. My goal is to learn as much as I can as quickly as I can. To me knowledge is everything.
