I'm back from Hacker Summer Camp! (Patreon)

BSidesLV and DEF CON were such a blast this year! The Hak5 team had everything under control so I was able to get some awesome interviews without worrying about our vendor booth being covered.

This was my first year volunteering at a hacker con. BSidesLV asked me to be an emcee, announcing keynote speakers, etc for their con this year. I was really happy to be included as a part of that little con family, and grateful that I was able to give back in my own little way. Food purchases and flights came out of my own pocket for that volunteer work, and I have Patreon to thank for much of that. I was able to get the word out about this show and also got to meet several of y'all at the cons!

SHOUTOUT TO THE THREAT WIRE PATRONS THAT STOPPED BY TO SAY HELLO!! THERE ARE TOO MANY OF YOU TO THANK BY NAME BUT IT WAS SO AWESOME TO MEET YOU and / or SEE YOU AGAIN!

As usual, patreon updates will happen within the next few days - so if you've just started contributing, you'll see your name in credits or on the website soon! And for my Olympus Fire patrons - be on the lookout in the next few days for our next google hangout date / time for this month. 

Lastly, thanks a ton. Seriously. Y'all keep me so motivated in this industry. I'm really happy to be a part of it and can't imagine doing anything else. 

You are amazing!
