Stephen Semmelroth was in the Army for 6+ years, and he served in Afghanistan and the Army's Cyber Corps, where he led a red team and a threat intelligence team defending US assets across an entire continent. Unfortunately, he broke his back while on a mission which left him paralyzed, and he had to relearn how to walk.

After retiring from the Army, he founded Rainier Cyber, a cybersecurity recruiter that matches Cyber Vets with tech jobs across the county, which was acquired by StrataCore in 2020. Stephen holds CISSP, PMP, GSNA, GCIA, and GPEN cyber security certificates, and he mentors between 200-300 people annually in the cybersecurity space.

Today, Stephen is now at Avant, an IT decision-making platform behind the industry’s leading Trusted Advisors helping Enterprise CIOs manage technology.

From complex cloud design to global wide-area network deployments, AVANT empowers their partners and clients with access to the global marketplace of Cloud, Colocation and Telecom service providers. They specialize in technology and infrastructure consulting, solution selection, and service implementation.

Stephen shares his story with me and discusses a rise in global conflict necessitates a review of cybersecurity best practices. He also talks about how companies and non-tech professionals can solve the cybersecurity talent problem
