As a cybersecurity researcher and crypto activist, Sam’s dedication and passion in the cloud space has been alive and well before the term cloud was born. He has spent the last 20 years in the hosting industry and he founded Host Duplex 8 years ago. Since the launch of HD, Sam and his company have been not only managing WordPress sites but educating clients on security and performance to assist in their success. His clients include some of the most visited WordPress sites on the internet including MacRumors and even local Southern California companies like Sammy’s Woodfired Pizza. He quickly realized that client education is vital for not only their success but for his success. With his depth of knowledge of plugin security and compliance regulations, he continually educates his clients on how to be defensive with security while maintaining the performance they expect.
An avid Big 10 fan, Sam escaped the Iowa cold and moved to sunny Southern California 7 years ago. He currently resides in downtown San Diego and is currently learning the ropes of raising a new puppy.
