An information security leader with more than 34 years of experience, he will be responsible for developing and implementing a robust information security program, ensuring Hound Labs and its assets – as well as the information and assets of its customers – are protected from both internal and external threats as the Company brings its flagship product, the HOUND® MARIJUANA BREATHALYZER, to market.

Prior to joining Hound Labs, Don served as the Security Outreach Director and Chief Information Security Officer for Huntington Bank, where he was responsible for working with customers and commercial clients to raise awareness of information security, cyber threats, fraud, and physical security. Before joining Huntington Bank, he spent 30 years at the National Security Agency (NSA) where he held many leadership positions including Associate Deputy Director for TechSIGINT and Ground Capabilities, Chief Mission Control Capabilities, Technical Director for the Chief of Operations US CYBERCOM, Signals Intelligence Directorate Cyber Lead, TAO Director of Operations, and Chief of the Remote Operations Center. Don retired as a Defense Intelligence Senior Executive, working both offensive and defensive cyber operations.
