Hi there! I'm Thomas Braddy, a cybersecurity professional, ethical hacker, and passionate educator who thrives on helping others grow their technical confidence.

I've tutored students across a wide range of cybersecurity topics, including SSCP, CompTIA A+, Security+, CySA+, PenTest+, and foundational skills like penetration testing, networking, and digital forensics. I've spent countless hours in hands-on labs and live environments, and I regularly lead workshops that help students and beginners build real-world skills and confidence.

I hold multiple industry-recognized certifications including: Linux, SOC Analyst 1 (SAL1), ISC2 SSCP, CompTIA A+, Security+, CySA+, PenTest+, Network+, and more. I'm currently pursuing my Master's degree in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance. But more than that, I love seeing people have that "aha!" moment when something finally clicks.

Whether you're prepping for a certification, working through a tough class, or just curious about how hackers think. My teaching style is patient, practical, and full of real-world examples to help things stick.

Outside of tech, I bring the same dedication to family, faith, and fun (especially anything involving a smart home, a good challenge, or a punny T-shirt). Let's unlock your potential together.

Education & Certification

Degree: Western Governors University - Bachelor's, Cyber Security and Information Assurance

Degree: Western Governors University - Master's/Graduate, Cyber Security and Information Assurance

Hobbies

I love competing in Capture the Flag (CTF) events and cybersecurity competitions. They keep my skills sharp, challenge my thinking, and fuel my passion for ethical hacking. Outside of that, I spend a lot of time building homelabs, tinkering with smart home technology, and exploring hardware hacking and Arduino projects. I enjoy staying hands-on with both software and hardware, and I mentor student cyber clubs to help others grow in this field too. When I’m not deep in tech, I’m likely enjoying time with family or designing pun-filled, tech-inspired T-shirts, because learning should always have a little fun built in.
