My name is James Crockett. I am a board member and advisor for PM Training Services Corp. Our team works tirelessly to reduce barriers to rewarding careers through access to quality program and project related educational services that positively impact our communities.

My family and I served in the U.S. military for 31 years. Continuing our legacy of dedication to service, I accepted a position on the Board of Directors for Mary’s Shelter, a pro-life women and children’s shelter that advocates for and supports pregnant women who want to have their baby under sometimes very difficult personal circumstances by providing a home, supporting medical care, helping with job placement, and other critical services to help these families not just survive, but thrive.

Over the past 35 years I have served in many military and private sector leadership positions in enterprise technology, cybersecurity, and human resources management.

I received my Master of Science, Management Information Systems from the University of Mary Washington in 2009. My certifications include Project Management Professional (PMP)® from the Project Management Institute, Computer Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP)® from ISC2, and Security+, Certified Cybersecurity Analyst (CYSA+), and Certified Security Analytics Professional (CSAP) from CompTIA.

I look forward to continuing our work in communities to reduce barriers to rewarding careers. 

My name is Kevin Keast and I serve on the board of directors for PM Training Services Corp, a 501(c)(3) non-profit focused on Program and Project related educational services.

I graduated from the United States Coast Guard Academy in 1991 with a Bachelor’s of Science degree in electrical engineering and completed my Master’s of Science degree in electrical engineering from the University of Rhode Island in 1998. I am a Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) and Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) Expert.

I served in the United States Coast Guard and retired from active duty as a Commander in 2013. After my active duty, I spent two years in the private sector in IT and Cyber Security and then returned to the Coast Guard as a Government Civilian where I work as a Cyber Security specialist with over 34 combined years of Federal service. I currently manage a portfolio of Cyber Security and IT programs and projects for the Coast Guard and conduct service level management for existing Cyber IT services. While in the Coast Guard I qualified as a Cutterman, had Command at Sea, and qualified as a Surface Warfare Officer during a cross-deck Navy tour with the US Navy. I received numerous personal medals in the Coast Guard including Meritorious Service medals and the 911 medal. Most recently I am active with various groups including the International Information System Security Certification Consortium (ISC2) where I help to write exam questions for CISSP certification.
