Richard got his first computer in 2002, ran his own gaming server running on a machine sporting dual P3 CPUs with Raid5, and by 17 had a homelab before it was cool on Reddit! He has been hooked on technology ever since.
He holds his CISSP, has worked across both public and private sectors. In addition, he was the head of technology at a cloud provider of investment trading systems. In his current day-to-day role, he manages the global cyber security program for a law firm.
With a passion for IT/Security, he continuously strikes a balance between technology, security, and the user experience with every action. He also enjoys mentoring others and ensuring people learn and grow. His other passions include cars (especially Porsches) and is in search for the Perfect Pilsner beer.
