Professional experience and a career in cybersecurity.

The whole
person.
Father. Engineer. Artist. Founder. None of those labels tell the whole story, and none of them have to compete. This page is about the person who contains all of them.
No neat little box.
I’m Chris Rapple. I work in cybersecurity, I make music under the name Brash, I build new ventures, I write when something matters enough to put into words, and I care deeply about being present for my kids. None of that cancels the rest out.
For a long time, it felt easier to separate the different parts of my life. Professional over here. Music over there. Personal thoughts kept somewhere quieter. ChrisRapple.com is me deciding not to do that anymore.
This site isn’t meant to present a polished myth. It’s meant to tell the truth in a thoughtful way: the work I do, the art I’ve made, the things I’m building now, and the person still becoming all the while.
This is the home for the full picture — not every detail, but the real shape of the life.
CHRIS RAPPLE / PORTRAITGrounded, direct, and personal — the tone the rest of the site should follow.
Different sides, one life
