I put on a series of national seminars to bring awareness to the ag community that, hey, you are a target. This is a threat. We need to be aware. And I did those starting in 2016, 2017. And then probably by 2019, we'd done several very large conferences. And the time demands for me as a volunteer were so great that I needed to focus on what I was best at.

So I migrated from being everything to everybody to focusing on the emerging threats. And now and I do want to give a shout out to the FBI. They've been they've been supporting me the entire time. Whenever I need something, it's there. Whatever information needs to be shared with an audience, a speaker, what have you.

They've stood up and to their credit, they always apologize afterwards saying we could have done more, you know, and I'm always like, well, at least you're there for me. I do appreciate that. But one of their concerns is when they're called is after the incidents occurred. So the right of boom and the lack of preparation by many companies to what that looks like.

Not only are you dealing with the emotion of it, why was I attacked? Why was it me? You know, why was I singled out? Now you're going to make payroll with no records. Now you've got to send invoices out with no records. Now you've got to receive invoices with no access to your financial systems.

So I've been working on small, private-focused meetings with groups in the agricultural industry about, okay, it's not if and when, it's when and again. So let's just start planning for these things and getting ahead of these attacks. And that's my cybersecurity contribution.

What I also do, though, to keep my lights on, I work on projects that benefit our species three generations from now, primarily in agricultural production. And a lot of that's technology transfer from other countries that will then benefit soft landing. It'll benefit the U.S., but it'll also benefit them.

And then I also work as a fractional chief of staff for a variety of different companies across different categories, mostly in the agriculture sector, some in the IT sector. So that's a long-winded way of saying me. I'm in Baltimore, Maryland. So if anyone's out here in the area, I'd love to treat you to a crab cake and a cup of coffee.

Yeah. Well, to get really hyper-focused in the agriculture production side, I specialize in novel plants and proteins. And that's going to be a micro or macroalgae, seaweed or a microalgae. It's going to be duckweed. It's going to be insects, space agriculture, recirculating aquaculture systems. And I do have an affinity for insects in particular. And of those, I have an

Real affinity for mealworms. I love the protein emulsification. They're cold blooded, like the five to nine harvest a year. And they're fine. They're two dimensional. They don't hop. They don't fly. They don't complain. They don't make noises. They just eat their carrots and apples and whole wheat and just do their mealworm thing.

Indeed. Two years ago in Fargo, we ran a tabletop around resiliency in a big part of the agri-supply chain. And to Andrew's point, resiliency, not only in an organization, but in an entire supply chain is the critical piece because you've got competitors that if one goes down, it's either wolves on the carcass or everyone bands together and makes sure that our citizens get fed livestock gets fed.
