I am a retired computer security specialist with 40+ years of computer experience, of which 38 years were in the oil industry. The most recent 22 years of my career were spent as an employee of Saudi Aramco, in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, working in support of the Geoscientists and 5,000 computer users of the Exploration and Petroleum Engineering Center (EXPEC).

Ultimately, I was appointed supervisor of the Corporate Security Forensic Science Lab.

I retired and returned to the U.S. in 2003.
