Guys like me don’t really have heroes, in the traditional sense of the word. Maybe the astronauts. I’m a football fan, enjoy tracking the best QB’s but that’s about as far as it goes – don’t know their stats or other details. Healthy disdain for most politicians and celebrities is the attitude on that topic, for me.
But if I had to pick one person to be my own personal hero, it might be Luiz. He took the first steps on the high tech build-out, followed through and provided the foundation upon which our data-driven society exists today. I’ve had tremendous success emulating his ideas in my own environments over the years. This is one guy who really knew what he was doing.
Cyber pros avoid smart devices.
