Hi everyone!

My name is Diego Briceno and I am a high school senior in the High Desert. I have a passion for cybersecurity and basically anything in the tech world!

Here's a little about me! I am president of the cybersecurity club at our school, where we compete in a number of competitions including Cyberpatriot. My dream job is really anything in the cybersecurity field, and I am completely motivated to expand my educational capabilities. I am enrolled in RH124 and Cisco Academy CCNA2. I am also ITF+ certified and on my way to getting my A+.

I have recently been accepted to be a Red Hat Student Ambassador and I am so grateful for this opportunity. I am so excited to start meeting new people in the community and start making new connections :)

Hello from a lately selected Red Hat Ambassador. Estrella Mountain Community College is the main place I go to soak my brain in Linux.  I tend towards the networking and administration side, and thoroughly enjoy learning it. It also helps to have a fantastic teacher, Tracy Baker (I don't think I'll get extra credit for that).

On the side I volunteer with a non-profit Cyber Warfare Range in "Arizona", where we just opened up a Veteran focused Range. I get to administer a wide variety of equipment there and have a wonderful playground to expand my skills. My latest endeavor was to make an alias of clear and then use it to echo a wide variety of playful words and place it throughout several different servers and laptops. It is an absolute joy to see a friend hit clear and end up with a screen full of wtf, and then watch them hit clear again! I next want to make history print out random paragraphs containing eclectic world history.

Also, I am the current Vice President of the Cyber Security Linux User Group, which holds meetings every month (during the school year) at EMCC. At our meetings we have presenters and occasionally workshops as well. This coming November we will be hosting you, Red Hat. It will be very exciting!

I'm looking forward to find out what Red Hat has to offer me, and what I can offer Red Hat in return. :D

Liz

Hello there! My name is Brian Gadbois and I'm a student at Fayetteville Technical Community College. I have taken quite a few classes in for Red Hat so for. I actually went most of my life not knowing about Linux until college. I come from a family who doesn't know much about computers on a technical level. We had computers and gaming consoles for the most part. Never the newest stuff but we always happen to have the stuff. Wasn't till I built my first computer that my techincal interest began to flourish.

I said earlier that my family owned gaming consoles. I do have a deep love for video games since that is a long time hobby for me. Inadvertantly my display name a reference to a beautiful game from my childhood.  

I hope to learn as much as I possibly can in Red Hat and am thankful for the opportunity to be able to access this archive of information! Hope to get along well enough with everyone!
