The speaker describes his professional journey as anything but simple. “There was no clear or established route into digital forensics when I entered the field; you either stumbled into it or were placed there by circumstance,” he explained. That concept strikes me as really insightful since it illustrates how, sometimes, choosing the appropriate career requires not just trying things out but also fully committing to them. Originally trained as an accountant, he became involved when his company needed assistance with network and IT problems and found that he was more interested in that aspect of the job. He had a background in accounting, but he let his curiosity to lead him in a different direction. He went on to join Australia’s first national digital forensics practice as a result of that choice, which he completely embraced and never looked back on. His story serves as a wonderful reminder that, even after putting time and effort into one field, taking a different path is acceptable. His journey, in my opinion, is an example of the kind of rewarding road many of us aspire to discover, one that is motivated by passion and purpose, even if it means forging a new trail.
