In this episode, we sit down with Stephen Semmelroth, the VP of cyber at Avant Communications. Stephen 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. He also co-wrote the training doctrine that defines how [cyber units](https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/stratacore-announces-acquisition-rainier-cyber-geniece-mccolgan/) defend the US. Stephen broke his back while on a mission in Afghanistan, 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.
