Karl Hansen

Hi. I’m Karl. I live in the Mountain West region of the United States. I have been working in Cyber Security for over 4 years. Prior to working in Cyber Security I worked in several industries including nuclear medicine, furniture, and plumbing. I have a Bachelor of Arts in History, and a Masters of Science in Information Systems, as well as the CISSP and GCIA.

Outside of my professional life, I thoroughly enjoy working with my hands. I have done a lot of work upgrading houses, as well as milling lumber with my chainsaw with the goal of turning the wood on my lathe into something beautiful. I am also something of an urban homesteader, in that I have a fairly large garden, a flock of chickens, and my corgi, Menchi. I have a wonderful family to help me with these tasks, and I enjoy every minute of it.
