A LETTER FROM OUR CEO

A LETTER FROM
OUR CEO

I will start with some history...


As a kid, I loved two things, music and computers. I practiced the violin and piano more than 6 hours daily and was a very serious competitive musician growing up. Some would say it was all I did as a child, and that I didn’t play much... but I actually did... just not in the common vision we have of children playing. In 4th grade, I turned my toy walkie-talkie into a radio station. The toy had a 49mhz crystal and the harmonic frequency when doubled was 99.7mhz which is FM radio. So when my parents weren’t home during the summer, I would broadcast 20 miles playing music and just fiddling around being silly owning the radio waves.


As a young child, my imagination always sprang to being a detective, where I would read encyclopedia brown, hardy boys, and of course Sherlock Holmes. I grew up known as a geek in the 80’s and ’90s in school, not well-understood, and definitely not very popular... that is until I changed some grades for money in high school. My high school years were tumultuous and every year I was almost getting kicked out for some sort of mischief, typically with electronics or computers.


Guess what though... I made it to adulthood and I knew exactly what I wanted to do... use my ever-growing hacker skills for good. Over the years, I believe I did that, starting companies that helped catch bad guys, and helping organizations that had a common mission, succeed and grow. I loved bridging the security, law enforcement, and intelligence communities together, essentially changing how hackers and feds got along. And I met some wonderful people along the way in my adventures, and this is where the Unit 221B story begins...


Unit 221B is a culmination of some of the most talented individuals I’ve ever worked with under one roof.


Together, we make up Unit 221B,  named after Sherlock Holmes’ apartment on Baker Street as a friend once joked with me, "You are the Sherlock Holmes of cyberspace."


Within this unit, we are a force guided by integrity, and like any good detective, we are discreet by design.
