He graduated with honors from the University of California, Irvine, in electrical and computer engineering, earned his MBA from Pepperdine, and went on to implement large cryptographic systems for the U.S. government. He has consulted on security for Microsoft, Disney and Ford, among others. ​

 

He was chief information security officer at PricewaterhouseCoopers before his recruitment by Google in 2007. He is a frequent presenter at international security/technology gatherings such as RSA, Black Hat Technical Security Conference, Hacker Halted, Infosec and others. ​
