Sid Arias

Born in Brownsville Texas to a military family, I now reside in San Marcos Texas where I own and operate a small farm with my wife and 4 kids. I spent 8 years in the military as an Intelligence specialist. I served as a signals intelligence analyst as part of a Cryptological support team (CST) for the 10th mountain division. After my departure from the 10th mountain division, I served as a systems engineer and cyber threat intelligence analyst for the National Security Agency (NSA) and U.S Cyber Command (USCC). Upon leaving the military I was headhunted by the SaaS Tech company SailPoint Technologies where I now work as a senior project manager implementing software solutions for large enterprise customers. Post military I became a student of theology and philosophy and have extensive research knowledge of Christian apologetics and applied philosophy. As part of my ministry I mentor veterans and young men to become better versions of themselves.
