• If you care to listen to the below radio broadcast, I join the conversation after about 22 minutes to discuss the types of dangers lurking online and how your personal information is bought and sold on darknets. Example- If I was so inclined, (I'm not) someone like me can buy thousands of social security numbers for about $10 each, along with credit card numbers and just about anything else I want to get rich and defraud someone who doesn't safeguard their personal information. Digital thieves do this every day. The ironic thing is literally NOBODY cares, people AND companies, until it happens to them.

• Commissioning Engineer; configuring and maintaining the new 4G network towers being built to eventually blanket America in "available everywhere" wi-fi. Financially backed by yahoo, google, and sprint, if you've yet to hear of Clear, I imagine you will relatively soon. We were in fact the FIRST company to introduce 4G services to the world, contrary to what other corporations were saying at the time this was taking place. My colleagues and I have learned and manipulated this equipment to specific market standards and learned extremely new and advanced technology on the fly and often times responded and turned up sites on a moment's notice in security emergencies along with other spur of the moment concerns. The company's budgeting issues and the overall financial health of Clearwire saw us departing on 1\1\11.
