Vulc@n have been involved in the community since DEF CON 11, which in some ways seems recent but upon reflection is clearly more than a decade ago. In his early years he sprinted from talk to talk, dodging curious things like mid-school aged folks with baby chickens, couches in purple-dyed pools, and real dunk tanks. He even sat through talks in the blistering heat in outdoor tents at Alexis Park. Starting with his second year attending, he was pulled more and more into the CTF contest with then new-found and now lifelong friends at Sk3wl of r00t. Much of his time in the years since has been dedicated to playing in CTF or organizing it (as part of DDTEK). Ever since convincing one of his college professors to finance my first DEF CON trip, the hacker scene has been kind to him. He now finds himself in possession of two black badges (and leather jacket). More recently he was part of the Cyber Grand Challenge development team and was an on-stage referees for the all-computer hacking competition this past summer. In summary, it seems that he just keeps finding novel ways to be very involved with DEF CON and CTF. @tvidas, @ddtek
