Life & Career Milestones

My path in life has been direct

  • 1.

    Grew up with his Solutionary co-worker Tim Roberts; they both loved to break things and then try to re-engineer them.

  • 2.

    When he was in college, he played music in bands; wanted to become a rock star.

  • 3.

    Decided to major in graphic design so that he could make t-shirts and websites for his bands.

  • 4.

    As he learned how to build websites, he simultaneously learned how to break those websites.

  • 5.

    He quickly realized that most websites didn’t have security measures in place to keep him from hacking into them.

  • 6.

    After finishing school, he worked as a graphic designer and project manager; he naturally started building those security measures into the sites that he was building.

  • 7.

    He reconnected with his childhood friend Tim, who told him about an opening at Solutionary, an information security company.

  • 8.

    Says that the thing that excited him about security research is that the field is constantly changing and evolving, which keeps him from ever getting bored with it.
