Overview
I am extremely impressed by David’s belief and dedication in spreading knowledge about information security. David would travel from Dallas to Austin (3.5hours) to be a guest instructor for a CISSP class at Austin Community College for military Veterans. David is an owner of many companies and would actively chose to evangelize the religion of security fundamental to anyone that would listen. He is one of the most technically competent security professional I have ever met, this includes my 20 years in Army communications. I am extremely impressed with him as a person, a professions and I truly believe he exemplifies as security professional. He also wrote CISA, and a CISSP/CASP books.
