About Rj Niesen
Husband. Father. Servant Leader. These are some of the hats I wear in life that drive me to excel in my professional space (Cybersecurity).Cybersecurity State Coordinator. Consultant. Director. Sr. Manager. These are some of the current and previous professional roles + titles I’ve held that will continue to guide me to employers that value Cybersecurity, Integrity, Selfless-Service, and Accountability (CISA ) as much as I do. Over a 20-year military career, I was blessed with several jobs in the U.S. Army that eventually led to my current role representing America\'s Cyber Defense Agency (CISA) in WA state. I am eternally grateful for the love and support of my family and network of mentors (foot stomp)- THANK YOU!
