Zane is a Colorado Mountain College student hailing from Snowmass Village, Colorado. After a period of time serving in the Navy, he decided to start studying how he could make an impact in the IT industry. He's currently pursuing a degree in Cybersecurity and is interested in becoming an ethical hacker. In order to graduate from his current associate program, he’ll need to complete 16 different certifications. This has him worried he may burn out before he even gets a chance to start in the field. He also wants to make sure he can find a way to use his technical skills to help people in a tangible way. He’s especially interested in talking with people who’ve taken on IT roles for hospitals or big cities. In his spare time, he enjoys skiing, rock climbing, and hiking.
