Welcome to ClearedOps

Whether you’re just starting in the cleared industry or a seasoned professional navigating the next phase of your career, ClearedOps was built with you in mind.

Why ClearedOps?

After 20+ years in IT and defense contracting, I’ve seen firsthand how difficult it can be to break into or move up within the security clearance ecosystem. Between confusing job postings, unclear government requirements, and a lack of centralized resources, many professionals are left trying to figure it out independently.

ClearedOps is here to change that.

What You’ll Find Here

This blog—and the tools I’m building alongside it—will focus on:

• Breaking into cleared roles (even if you don’t have a clearance yet)
• Building a career in defense contracting, cybersecurity, and federal IT
• Understanding and maintaining your clearance
• Resume tailoring and job-hunting strategies
• Real talk about working for defense firms, dealing with the red tape, and finding purpose in the mission

Coming soon: a resume helper web app that will allow you to match your resume directly to cleared job postings—something I wish I had years ago.

Who This Is For

• Aspiring cleared professionals
• Veterans transitioning into defense contracting careers
• Experienced IT/cybersecurity pros entering the contracting world
• Current defense contractors that are looking to level up

Join Me on the Mission

This is just the beginning.

Subscribe for updates, follow ClearedOps on LinkedIn, Facebook, Reddit, X, Instagram, TikTok, and check back often—because whether you’re deploying code or deploying downrange, the cleared world doesn’t come with a manual. I’m here to help build one.
