George Good Evening All.
I’m George, I feel this is a great pleasure, to meet all of my fellow classmates. I hope to gain a lot from the classes. I am currently an IT Manager, I have been in IT for 31 or so years, the problem is that I am 44. I started “hacking” computers around 13, when my parents’ landlord gave them a Commodore 64, from there I have been in BBS and watched the Internet grow. I can’t believe how far computers have come. Currently, we have more power in the cell phones of today than was used to send men to the moon. It’s an amazing progression.
While I have been working on Computers forever, I spent time in Nursing school, as well as a number of years in physical security. While computers were a building block to my life, I didn’t think about it professionally till after my years working in Emergency Medicine and just killing my back.
I have been hacking networks, and computers to make them do things out of the normal. Early in my college classes, I was part of the hacker group, which was helping other students learn and understand the basics while we had some fun. I wish I had mentors in Cyber then, that are on line today, I would have been in cyber all along.
To keep this short, I am a #nerodivergent person with several learning disabilities, which I hid the best I could until about 4 years ago when I took a role as a Contract Hardware Manager and I am currently the IT Manager. As for why choose this class and MIT, well it’s hard to look at the MIT Campus from my Office Window at the lab and not see what it’s like to be an MIT student.
Well that’s right, I am joining you all from the Heart of MIT in Kendell Square, Cambridge Massachusetts. I am looking forward to learning together.
My blog is at CyberHound.info on my journal into CyberSecurity..
