Originally born deep in the delta of Mississippi, I've spent the better part of my life in a land where "the web" was something you had to clean out of your garage every Saturday. I went to Duke University, where I studied Economics and Political Science. While there, I took a class on Cybersecurity, taught by two of the FBI's first cybersecurity experts, both of whom were instrumental in taking down some of the net's first "black hat hackers", like Kevin Mitnick. Despite my interest in the myriad issues surrounding this beautiful packet passer, I have a shockingly small amount of knowledge of the technical side; in fact, I couldn't get my wireless to work until roughly halfway through our first class, and even then it was only because I adopted a policy of "fetal postition until the Gods decide to recognize NYU ROAM(3)".
