The speakers pathway into digital forensics was mainly from connections. First, he was an accountant, while he was at his accounting firm they needed a technology expert to help out with some of the devices. He was willing to take up the extra job. While he was working both jobs he ended up falling in love with IT. He then landed a job with the first digital forensic companies in Australia. He was pretty lucky in landing this kind of job. He was able to leverage the skills he learned from just having access of computers when he was younger to land a interesting job. If he was less fortunate and did not have access to technology before he was at his accounting job then he may have never discovered this passion and love for IT.
