EXPERIENCE
Travis Steadman started his career in the financial industry and slowly began to teach himself how to use computers and do his job more efficiently through Stack Overflow and YouTube. Travis decided to make the jump into technology full time and, after reviewing the different fields, found that security was the most exciting by far. Since making that choice, Travis has been constantly growing professionally. He has also worked for an MSSP and for a cloud web application firewall organization.
EDUCATION & CERTIFICATIONS

PASSION FOR SECURITY
If you’re a child of the ’80s or ’90s, you might remember the excitement of being allowed to rent a video game at Blockbuster as a reward for a good report card. Travis has that same reaction every day to working in security. He lights up at any opportunity to learn about or engage in security and has an infectious energy that spreads to everyone around him because of his passion. Travis is always working on improving his craft and enjoys teaching and working with people on ways to be more efficient.
