Once described by a former coworker as "not the lawyer we need, but the lawyer we deserve" (which apparently wasn't meant as a compliment), he works to get a handle on how people are messing with the Internet (and how we can ask them nicely to knock it off), builds security programs, occasionally argues with people who are wrong on the Internet about security governance, and runs the Narwhal project/conference. He lives in Seattle, WA surrounded by radio gear and cat hair.
