Brian is a digital forensic analyst currently residing in the Baltimore, Maryland area. He has approximately 15 years of experience in the cyber security field, with 10 of those years focusing on digital forensics/incident response (DFIR), both in the United States Air Force and the private sector. His initial exposure to the DFIR field occurred during a 6 month deployment to Mosul, Iraq in 2004-2005, when he served on a team that provided mobile device analytic information in support of tactical military operations. During his tenure in the Air Force, he has worked with numerous DoD entities and been invited to speak and share information at several intelligence community events. After his military service ended he entered the private sector and has worked (globally) on a wide range of cases. His favorite aspect of this DFIR field is that it is always changing and evolving; and every case has unique problems, questions, and solutions.
