Profile

I'm just a techy - professionally in Computer / Network / Security consulting services, hobbies in a lot of different things - electronics, pinball, cars (rotary engines rule,) learning more in woodworking, etc.

I spoke at DefCon 18 on July 30, 2010. I'll be giving the talk to the Makerspace at some point in the near future. I will also have a speaker and human badge available for people to take a look at.
