Aaron Butler, before anything else, is but a simple black guy with a laptop. As Founder of the BlackHack Society, Home for Ethical Hackers, he has been in the hacker world for 20 years and has a background in Network Engineering, Linux, Incident Response, GRC, and Product IOT Security. When he's not hacking the planet and convincing people that there's a (non-existent) pool on the roof they should -totally- check out, he's out traveling looking for his next great experience, looking to try new foods, or attending conferences, festivals, and events.
