Hello there, my name is Cory. I am a Communication Studies major with minors in Applied Commuting and Human System Integration. I am passionate about navigating the dynamic world of Information Technology, especially in Cybersecurity. With over a decade of experience in customer service and a solid grasp of various IT platforms, I bring a unique blend of technical know-how and effective communication skills to any project I'm involved in. Personally, it's all about finding that sweet spot between technical prowess and interpersonal skills.
Aside from my tech journey, I have also invested seven years as a dedicated member of the San Jose/Evergreen Community College District's Citizens' Bond Oversight Committee (CBOC). My responsibilities include overseeing the District's major general obligation bonds. Including the $748 million Measure X approved in 2016, the $268 million Measure G-2010 approved in 2010, and the $185 million Measure G-2004 approved in 2004. Guided by the Bylaws and Citizens' Bond Oversight Training, I actively contribute to the committee's mission. From ensuring transparency by informing the public about the District's bond proceeds expenditure to meticulously reviewing expenditure reports, I immersed myself in the financial intricacies. As the Chair from 2020 to 2022 and Vice-Chair from 2018 to 2020, I presented the committee's annual written report to the Board during public sessions, summarizing our findings and recommendations.
Life is not just about work - I am also deeply engaged in strategic games like Baduk/Go and MTG. Indoor rock climbing and outdoor adventures like hiking and backpacking are my stress relief. My wife and two kids are my anchor, inspiring me to strive for excellence in my professional and personal life. Family is not just a priority; it's my driving force, aligned with my faith.
In my professional and personal life, I uphold the core values that drive my actions. I am dedicated to empowering, inspiring, and fostering growth in every interaction. Authenticity is key to my identity, as I prioritize living and connecting with sincerity. Being family-centric is a guiding principle, and I nurture the well-being of my loved ones. Strategic thinking shapes my problem-solving approach as I navigate challenges with foresight and purposeful execution. These values define my character, serving as a compass to ensure alignment with my beliefs and principles.
