About

Welcome to my blog, a space dedicated to exploring practical approaches to network management and cybersecurity for small organizations. My name is James Clark, and I bring a background in technical problem-solving and leadership, shaped through my service as an F-16 Aerospace Technician in the United States Air Force and my current role managing a community center in Atlanta. In both roles, I learned the importance of reliable systems, clear processes, and secure infrastructure—principles that are equally vital in the digital world. This blog was created with small nonprofits in mind—especially those with limited technical staff and growing concerns about protecting sensitive donor, staff, and community data. The goal is to make cybersecurity approachable through simple, do-it-yourself projects using affordable tools like Raspberry Pi computers. Content is organized into categories such as Network Protection, Data Security, Threat Monitoring, Training & Culture, and Physical Security, offering step-by-step tutorials and case studies that highlight practical solutions. The mission of this blog is to bridge the gap between technical knowledge and organizational need. By emphasizing accessibility, clarity, and cost-effectiveness, it aims to help nonprofit staff and volunteers build confidence in securing their digital environments while continuing to support their broader missions.
