Lifelong geek turned security consultant after stops as a desktop tech, server bubba, and network jockey. Rick is a healthcare IT survivor, and is now playing Horatio on the bridge for hire with a national technology consulting company, advising clients on security strategy and operations. He mostly lives on the sales side these days, but cautions that he's still an engineer at heart. He currently holds CISSP, CCNP-Security, NSE7 and NSE4 certifications with a few other odds and sods sprinkled in and previously held CEH and CNA certifications. He has promised to not make fun of any manufacturers during his talk.
