Larry Pesce, the Director of Research at InGuardians, has a long history with hacking that began with the family TV when he was a kid, rebuilding it after it caught on fire. Both times. Later, as a web developer for a university in the early days of the Internet, he managed some of the first layer 3-switched networks in the world. Larry holds a handful of SANS certs, wrote a book or two and co-founded the multiple international award-winning security podcast, "Paul's Security Weekly". When not pursuing these activities, work-related passions have also involved leveraging OSINT for attack surface development.

Outside of work, Larry enjoys long walks on the beach weighed down by his ham radio (DE KB1TNF) and thinking of ways to survive the pending zombie apocalypse.
