Chandler Ball joined the Purdue cyberTAP in 2022. He is a Technical Instructor working on our cyber courses and training on the Cyber Range.

Before joining Purdue, Chandler started his career as an Internal IT Auditor working on various IT and Cybersecurity-related audits. Chandler’s work primarily focused on IT SOX regulatory standards and building comprehensive NIST frameworks to bolster the existing IT Audit infrastructure at the companies he worked with. After the pandemic, Chandler decided to shift gears and go into teaching where he was also coaching Cross Country and Track and Field. As a teacher, he was preparing students for industry-level certifications in IT through CompTIA including A+, Network+, and Security+.

Chandler achieved a B.S. from Marian University in Indianapolis in Business Management with a focus on Management Information Systems. He was a distance runner for Marian, setting records and was a multiple-time All-American athlete.

Chandler loves all things Marvel, running, video games, movies, television, puzzles, board games, and spending time doing all his favorite things with his future wife Ty (October 2022) and his dog Parker.
