Pyr0

Pyr0 is the asshole who oversees the Contests and Events at DEF CON. He's been attending since DEF CON 6 and a goon since DEF CON 7. One of those 3 0 3 peoples and also rolls deep with Security Tribe. Loves good vodka, smart girls, explosives, and big black . . . guns. Has the ability to tell a man to go to hell so that he looks forward to the trip. ALSO:DONGS

Lockheed

Lockheed (@TheLockheed) was the Sr. Goon in charge of the DEF CON Network Operations Group since DEF CON 4. He retired last year - which means he's still involved and has a new role in DEF CON (because you never really retire!). Professionally, Lock has over 25 years of experience in the technology field. He's had jobs ranging from tech writer, mainframe operator, product engineer, product marketing manager, and is currently Sr Director in charge of the Global IT Group for Sony PlayStation Worldwide Studios. He's been in the video game industry for almost 10 years now & already has a PS4 (and thinks it's pretty kick-ass!).

Roamer

Roamer (@shitroamersays) is the Senior Goon in charge of the Vendor Area. He has been on DEF CON staff since DEF CON 8. He was the founder of the DEF CON WarDriving contest the first 4 years of it's existence and has also run the slogan contest in the past. Roamer is one of the guitarists in the Goon Band, Recognize. Although having no actual skills his ability to drink virtually every Goon and attendee under the table has gained him massive prominence in the scene and elevated him to the lofty station you see him in today. When not "working" at DEF CON he is "working" as the Global Information Security Manager and Sr. Enterprise Architect for Sony PlayStation WorldWide Studios.

LosT

LosT mucks around with Defcon on occasion. He is the creator of the Hardware Hacking Village, the LosT@Defcon Mystery Challenge, and for the past few years the Defcon badges and badge challenges. Russ says he's the official Defcon Puzzlemaster, but LosT still doesn't believe him. In his other life LosT enjoys playing the bass and linguistics, among other things. He's also been known to study mathematics, electrical engineering and physics in his spare time.
