I am the Deputy CISO for the state of Kansas, where I work at the intersection of technology, cybersecurity, and public service. My mission is to fortify digital frontiers and help shape secure solutions that protect both citizens and critical systems.
Beyond my professional role, I am a lifelong explorer of technology, creativity, and awareness. I’ve built and secured complex systems, written frameworks and policies, and continuously sought ways to make both organizations and individuals stronger through knowledge and resilience.
My passions extend far beyond cybersecurity. I am an author, photographer, astronomer, retro-computing enthusiast, and lifelong tinkerer. From discovering asteroids recognized by the Harvard Minor Planet Center, to creating custom arcade systems, to experimenting with Generative AI, I thrive at the crossroads of curiosity and creation.
A Mind For Life is a reflection of this journey. It distills years of “Ah Ha” moments, personal insights, and philosophical explorations into an invitation for others: to become more aware, more mindful, and more intentional in the way they live.
Relax and have fun! That’s my motto for photography. While I no longer work professionally, I continue to shoot for joy and passion. From weddings to film stills, my lens has captured many stories, but today I focus on shooting for the love of the craft.
The Awareness Journey grew out of 15 years of collected “Ah Ha” moments, life lessons, and guiding statements on how to live differently. Shared first with friends and strangers, these reflections became the foundation of a book dedicated to mindful awareness.
Abraham’s debut offers insight and practical tools to help individuals reprogram ingrained behaviors that lead them away from the happiness and well-being they desire.
Through self-reflection, mindful pausing, continuous questioning, and exploration of the issues that these actions bring to light, a person can develop a new perspective on life. This outlook, which he calls awareness, drastically changes how one handles emotions and produces a more fulfilling life and healthier state of being.
Abraham conveys the wisdom he’s acquired through life experience with sincerity, maturity, and honesty. The book concisely covers complex, painful subjects but remains clear and comprehensive.
“A genuinely written and impressive self-help debut.” – Kirkus Reviews
